5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1453.66
2) x%=618.09
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%=1453.66/618.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 618.09 is what percent of 1453.66
