1. We assume, that the number 5633.08 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 5633.08, so we can write it down as 100%=5633.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 220.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=220.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5633.08
2) x%=220.62
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%=5633.08/220.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 220.62 is what percent of 5633.08
