5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6535.27
2) x%=726.07
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%=6535.27/726.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 726.07 is what percent of 6535.27
