1. We assume, that the number 204230.03 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 204230.03, so we can write it down as 100%=204230.03.
4. We know, that x% equals 43270.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43270.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=204230.03

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%=204230.03/43270.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43270.04 is what percent of 204230.03
