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

1. We assume, that the number 4331.25 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 4331.25, so we can write it down as 100%=4331.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 56.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4331.25
2) x%=56.25
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%=4331.25/56.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56.25 is what percent of 4331.25

(100/x)*x=(4331.25/56.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=77*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (77) to get x
100/77=x
1.2987012987013=x
x=1.2987012987013

now we have:
