1. We assume, that the number 1364.19 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 1364.19, so we can write it down as 100%=1364.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 541.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=541.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1364.19
2) x%=541.94
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%=1364.19/541.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 541.94 is what percent of 1364.19

100%/x%=1364.19/541.94
(100/x)*x=(1364.19/541.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5172343801897*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5172343801897) to get x
100/2.5172343801897=x
39.726137854698=x
x=39.726137854698

now we have:
