5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1153.84
2) x%=841.45
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%=1153.84/841.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 841.45 is what percent of 1153.84
