5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1883.09
2) x%=914.94
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%=1883.09/914.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 914.94 is what percent of 1883.09
