5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1859.33
2) x%=560.99
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%=1859.33/560.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 560.99 is what percent of 1859.33
