1. We assume, that the number 874.57 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 874.57, so we can write it down as 100%=874.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 443.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=443.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=874.57
2) x%=443.51
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%=874.57/443.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 443.51 is what percent of 874.57

100%/x%=874.57/443.51
(100/x)*x=(874.57/443.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9719284796284*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9719284796284) to get x
100/1.9719284796284=x
50.711778359651=x
x=50.711778359651

now we have:
