1. We assume, that the number 177409.04 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 177409.04, so we can write it down as 100%=177409.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 247.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=247.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=177409.04
2) x%=247.1
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%=177409.04/247.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 247.1 is what percent of 177409.04
