5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9014.63
2) x%=587.49
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%=9014.63/587.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 587.49 is what percent of 9014.63
