1. We assume, that the number 53000.22 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 53000.22, so we can write it down as 100%=53000.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 4240.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4240.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=53000.22
2) x%=4240.02
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%=53000.22/4240.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4240.02 is what percent of 53000.22

(100/x)*x=(53000.22/4240.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.499992924562*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.499992924562) to get x
100/12.499992924562=x
8.0000045282831=x
x=8.0000045282831

now we have:
