1. We assume, that the number 2535.66 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 2535.66, so we can write it down as 100%=2535.66.
4. We know, that x% equals 527.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=527.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2535.66
2) x%=527.7
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%=2535.66/527.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 527.7 is what percent of 2535.66
