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

1. We assume, that the number 269.796 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 269.796, so we can write it down as 100%=269.796.
4. We know, that x% equals 225.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=225.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=269.796
2) x%=225.91
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%=269.796/225.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 225.91 is what percent of 269.796

100%/x%=269.796/225.91
(100/x)*x=(269.796/225.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1942632021602*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1942632021602) to get x
100/1.1942632021602=x
83.733635784074=x
x=83.733635784074

now we have:
225.91 is 83.733635784074% of 269.796
