1. We assume, that the number 272.73 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 272.73, so we can write it down as 100%=272.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 1039.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1039.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=272.73
2) x%=1039.65
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%=272.73/1039.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1039.65 is what percent of 272.73
