5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=518.95
2) x%=576.78
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%=518.95/576.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 576.78 is what percent of 518.95
