To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 554.75 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 554.75, so we can write it down as 100%=554.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 436.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=436.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=554.75
2) x%=436.25
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%=554.75/436.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 436.25 is what percent of 554.75

100%/x%=554.75/436.25
(100/x)*x=(554.75/436.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2716332378223*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2716332378223) to get x
100/1.2716332378223=x
78.639026588553=x
x=78.639026588553

now we have:
