1. We assume, that the number 244.82 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 244.82, so we can write it down as 100%=244.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 255.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=255.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=244.82
2) x%=255.84
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%=244.82/255.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 255.84 is what percent of 244.82
