1. We assume, that the number 5046.35 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 5046.35, so we can write it down as 100%=5046.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 237.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=237.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5046.35
2) x%=237.18
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%=5046.35/237.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 237.18 is what percent of 5046.35

100%/x%=5046.35/237.18
(100/x)*x=(5046.35/237.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.276456699553*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.276456699553) to get x
100/21.276456699553=x
4.7000307152695=x
x=4.7000307152695

now we have:
237.18 is 4.7000307152695% of 5046.35
