1. We assume, that the number 1068.65 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 1068.65, so we can write it down as 100%=1068.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 251.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=251.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1068.65
2) x%=251.28
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%=1068.65/251.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 251.28 is what percent of 1068.65
