1. We assume, that the number 408249.4 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 408249.4, so we can write it down as 100%=408249.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 204.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=204.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=408249.4
2) x%=204.12
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%=408249.4/204.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 204.12 is what percent of 408249.4
