1. We assume, that the number 1285.07 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 1285.07, so we can write it down as 100%=1285.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 1003.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1003.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1285.07
2) x%=1003.19
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%=1285.07/1003.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1003.19 is what percent of 1285.07

100%/x%=1285.07/1003.19
(100/x)*x=(1285.07/1003.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2809836621178*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2809836621178) to get x
100/1.2809836621178=x
78.065008131853=x
x=78.065008131853

now we have:
