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

1. We assume, that the number 639.95 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 639.95, so we can write it down as 100%=639.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 543.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=543.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=639.95
2) x%=543.96
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%=639.95/543.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 543.96 is what percent of 639.95

100%/x%=639.95/543.96
(100/x)*x=(639.95/543.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1764651812633*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1764651812633) to get x
100/1.1764651812633=x
85.00039065552=x
x=85.00039065552

now we have:
