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

1. We assume, that the number 48941 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 48941, so we can write it down as 100%=48941.
4. We know, that x% equals 221.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=221.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=48941
2) x%=221.85
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%=48941/221.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 221.85 is what percent of 48941

100%/x%=48941/221.85
(100/x)*x=(48941/221.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=220.60401171963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (220.60401171963) to get x
100/220.60401171963=x
0.45330091334464=x
x=0.45330091334464

now we have:
