5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=448.75
2) x%=868.78
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%=448.75/868.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 868.78 is what percent of 448.75
