5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1376.97
2) x%=658.78
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%=1376.97/658.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 658.78 is what percent of 1376.97

100/2.0901818513009=x
47.842727147287=x
x=47.842727147287

now we have:
