1. We assume, that the number 57.285 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 57.285, so we can write it down as 100%=57.285.
4. We know, that x% equals 418.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=418.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=57.285
2) x%=418.63
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%=57.285/418.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 418.63 is what percent of 57.285
