1. We assume, that the number 418.69 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 418.69, so we can write it down as 100%=418.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 319.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=319.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=418.69
2) x%=319.48
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%=418.69/319.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 319.48 is what percent of 418.69

100%/x%=418.69/319.48
(100/x)*x=(418.69/319.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.31053587079*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.31053587079) to get x
100/1.31053587079=x
76.30466454895=x
x=76.30466454895

now we have:
