1. We assume, that the number 1099.16 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 1099.16, so we can write it down as 100%=1099.16.
4. We know, that x% equals 541.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=541.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1099.16
2) x%=541.46
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%=1099.16/541.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 541.46 is what percent of 1099.16

(100/x)*x=(1099.16/541.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0299929819377*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0299929819377) to get x
100/2.0299929819377=x
49.261254048546=x
x=49.261254048546

now we have:
