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

1. We assume, that the number 4981.75 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 4981.75, so we can write it down as 100%=4981.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 440.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=440.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4981.75
2) x%=440.22
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%=4981.75/440.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 440.22 is what percent of 4981.75

100%/x%=4981.75/440.22
(100/x)*x=(4981.75/440.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.316500840489*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.316500840489) to get x
100/11.316500840489=x
8.8366537863201=x
x=8.8366537863201

now we have:
