5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=783.44
2) x%=543.98
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%=783.44/543.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 543.98 is what percent of 783.44
