5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2809.54
2) x%=754.65
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%=2809.54/754.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 754.65 is what percent of 2809.54
