5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=683.59
2) x%=391.115
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=683.59/391.115
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 391.115 is what percent of 683.59
