1. We assume, that the number 624.38 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 624.38, so we can write it down as 100%=624.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 448.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=448.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=624.38
2) x%=448.85
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%=624.38/448.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 448.85 is what percent of 624.38

(100/x)*x=(624.38/448.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.391066057703*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.391066057703) to get x
100/1.391066057703=x
71.887312213716=x
x=71.887312213716

now we have:
