5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=881.61
2) x%=545.61
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%=881.61/545.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 545.61 is what percent of 881.61
