1. We assume, that the number 1328.16 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 1328.16, so we can write it down as 100%=1328.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 372.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=372.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1328.16
2) x%=372.16
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%=1328.16/372.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 372.16 is what percent of 1328.16
