5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1491.61
2) x%=576.92
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%=1491.61/576.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 576.92 is what percent of 1491.61
