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

1. We assume, that the number 883.67 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 883.67, so we can write it down as 100%=883.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 56.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=883.67
2) x%=56.48
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%=883.67/56.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56.48 is what percent of 883.67

100%/x%=883.67/56.48
(100/x)*x=(883.67/56.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.64571529745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.64571529745) to get x
100/15.64571529745=x
6.3915262484864=x
x=6.3915262484864

now we have:
