To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 71558.8 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 71558.8, so we can write it down as 100%=71558.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 1040.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1040.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=71558.8
2) x%=1040.4
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%=71558.8/1040.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1040.4 is what percent of 71558.8

(100/x)*x=(71558.8/1040.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.780084582853*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.780084582853) to get x
100/68.780084582853=x
1.453909232687=x
x=1.453909232687

now we have:
