1. We assume, that the number 4040.48 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 4040.48, so we can write it down as 100%=4040.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 2260.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2260.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4040.48
2) x%=2260.5
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%=4040.48/2260.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2260.5 is what percent of 4040.48

100%/x%=4040.48/2260.5
(100/x)*x=(4040.48/2260.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7874275602743*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7874275602743) to get x
100/1.7874275602743=x
55.946323209124=x
x=55.946323209124

now we have:
