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

1. We assume, that the number 281.68 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 281.68, so we can write it down as 100%=281.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 245.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=245.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=281.68
2) x%=245.68
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%=281.68/245.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 245.68 is what percent of 281.68

100%/x%=281.68/245.68
(100/x)*x=(281.68/245.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1465320742429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1465320742429) to get x
100/1.1465320742429=x
87.219539903437=x
x=87.219539903437

now we have:
