5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3208.39
2) x%=64.83
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%=3208.39/64.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.83 is what percent of 3208.39
