1. We assume, that the number 72250 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 72250, so we can write it down as 100%=72250.
4. We know, that x% equals 2250.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2250.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=72250
2) x%=2250.41
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%=72250/2250.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2250.41 is what percent of 72250
