1. We assume, that the number 2505.64 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 2505.64, so we can write it down as 100%=2505.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 430.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=430.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2505.64
2) x%=430.14
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%=2505.64/430.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 430.14 is what percent of 2505.64
