1. We assume, that the number 17004.56 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 17004.56, so we can write it down as 100%=17004.56.
4. We know, that x% equals 253.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=253.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17004.56
2) x%=253.63
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%=17004.56/253.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 253.63 is what percent of 17004.56

(100/x)*x=(17004.56/253.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67.044750226708*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.044750226708) to get x
100/67.044750226708=x
1.491541092507=x
x=1.491541092507

now we have:
