5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1437.45
2) x%=786.68
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%=1437.45/786.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 786.68 is what percent of 1437.45
