1. We assume, that the number 556.65 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 556.65, so we can write it down as 100%=556.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 460.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=460.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=556.65
2) x%=460.99
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%=556.65/460.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 460.99 is what percent of 556.65

100%/x%=556.65/460.99
(100/x)*x=(556.65/460.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2075099242934*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2075099242934) to get x
100/1.2075099242934=x
82.815054342944=x
x=82.815054342944

now we have:
