5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1156.22
2) x%=779.62
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%=1156.22/779.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 779.62 is what percent of 1156.22
