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

1. We assume, that the number 116762.5 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 116762.5, so we can write it down as 100%=116762.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 467.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=467.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=116762.5
2) x%=467.05
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%=116762.5/467.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 467.05 is what percent of 116762.5

(100/x)*x=(116762.5/467.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=250*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (250) to get x
100/250=x
0.4=x
x=0.4

now we have:
467.05 is 0.4% of 116762.5
