1. We assume, that the number 4969.56 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 4969.56, so we can write it down as 100%=4969.56.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4969.56
2) x%=50.95
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%=4969.56/50.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.95 is what percent of 4969.56

100%/x%=4969.56/50.95
(100/x)*x=(4969.56/50.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=97.537978410206*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (97.537978410206) to get x
100/97.537978410206=x
1.0252416712948=x
x=1.0252416712948

now we have:
