1. We assume, that the number 539.73 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 539.73, so we can write it down as 100%=539.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 528.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=528.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=539.73
2) x%=528.99
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%=539.73/528.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 528.99 is what percent of 539.73

100%/x%=539.73/528.99
(100/x)*x=(539.73/528.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0203028412635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0203028412635) to get x
100/1.0203028412635=x
98.010116169196=x
x=98.010116169196

now we have:
