5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2431.67
2) x%=611.58
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%=2431.67/611.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 611.58 is what percent of 2431.67
