1. We assume, that the number 1435.74 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 1435.74, so we can write it down as 100%=1435.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 318.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=318.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1435.74
2) x%=318.25
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%=1435.74/318.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 318.25 is what percent of 1435.74

(100/x)*x=(1435.74/318.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5113589945012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5113589945012) to get x
100/4.5113589945012=x
22.166269658852=x
x=22.166269658852

now we have:
