5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1625.18
2) x%=990.42
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%=1625.18/990.42
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 990.42 is what percent of 1625.18
