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

1. We assume, that the number 439.25 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 439.25, so we can write it down as 100%=439.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 389.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=389.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=439.25
2) x%=389.25
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%=439.25/389.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 389.25 is what percent of 439.25

(100/x)*x=(439.25/389.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1284521515735*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1284521515735) to get x
100/1.1284521515735=x
88.616960728515=x
x=88.616960728515

now we have:
