5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2777.75
2) x%=603.86
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%=2777.75/603.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 603.86 is what percent of 2777.75
