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

1. We assume, that the number 748.57 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 748.57, so we can write it down as 100%=748.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 274.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=274.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=748.57
2) x%=274.91
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%=748.57/274.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 274.91 is what percent of 748.57

100%/x%=748.57/274.91
(100/x)*x=(748.57/274.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
