1. We assume, that the number 714.45 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 714.45, so we can write it down as 100%=714.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 423.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=423.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=714.45
2) x%=423.25
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%=714.45/423.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 423.25 is what percent of 714.45

(100/x)*x=(714.45/423.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6880094506793*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6880094506793) to get x
100/1.6880094506793=x
59.241374483869=x
x=59.241374483869

now we have:
