5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=883.54
2) x%=865.54
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%=883.54/865.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 865.54 is what percent of 883.54
