5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=714.83
2) x%=549.23
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%=714.83/549.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 549.23 is what percent of 714.83
