1. We assume, that the number 1665.99 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 1665.99, so we can write it down as 100%=1665.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 411.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=411.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1665.99
2) x%=411.25
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%=1665.99/411.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 411.25 is what percent of 1665.99

(100/x)*x=(1665.99/411.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.0510395136778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0510395136778) to get x
100/4.0510395136778=x
24.68502211898=x
x=24.68502211898

now we have:
