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

1. We assume, that the number 471.98 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 471.98, so we can write it down as 100%=471.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 234.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=234.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=471.98
2) x%=234.39
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%=471.98/234.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 234.39 is what percent of 471.98

100%/x%=471.98/234.39
(100/x)*x=(471.98/234.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0136524595759*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0136524595759) to get x
100/2.0136524595759=x
49.661002584855=x
x=49.661002584855

now we have:
