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

1. We assume, that the number 1716.22 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 1716.22, so we can write it down as 100%=1716.22.
4. We know, that x% equals 504.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=504.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1716.22
2) x%=504.64
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%=1716.22/504.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 504.64 is what percent of 1716.22

(100/x)*x=(1716.22/504.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.40087983513*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.40087983513) to get x
100/3.40087983513=x
29.404155644381=x
x=29.404155644381

now we have:
