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

1. We assume, that the number 325.45 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 325.45, so we can write it down as 100%=325.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 320.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=320.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325.45
2) x%=320.95
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%=325.45/320.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 320.95 is what percent of 325.45

(100/x)*x=(325.45/320.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0140208755258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0140208755258) to get x
100/1.0140208755258=x
98.617299124289=x
x=98.617299124289

now we have:
