1. We assume, that the number 8291.51 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 8291.51, so we can write it down as 100%=8291.51.
4. We know, that x% equals 4712.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4712.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8291.51
2) x%=4712.2
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%=8291.51/4712.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4712.2 is what percent of 8291.51

100%/x%=8291.51/4712.2
(100/x)*x=(8291.51/4712.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7595836339714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7595836339714) to get x
100/1.7595836339714=x
56.831626567417=x
x=56.831626567417

now we have:
4712.2 is 56.831626567417% of 8291.51
