5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6436.62
2) x%=4540.6
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%=6436.62/4540.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4540.6 is what percent of 6436.62
