5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1180.69
2) x%=719.87
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%=1180.69/719.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 719.87 is what percent of 1180.69
