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

1. We assume, that the number 890.94 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 890.94, so we can write it down as 100%=890.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 275.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=275.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=890.94
2) x%=275.61
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%=890.94/275.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 275.61 is what percent of 890.94

100%/x%=890.94/275.61
(100/x)*x=(890.94/275.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2326112985741*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2326112985741) to get x
100/3.2326112985741=x
30.934743080342=x
x=30.934743080342

now we have:
