5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1106.79
2) x%=885.43
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%=1106.79/885.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 885.43 is what percent of 1106.79
