1. We assume, that the number 20945.36 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 20945.36, so we can write it down as 100%=20945.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 563.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=563.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20945.36
2) x%=563.5
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%=20945.36/563.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 563.5 is what percent of 20945.36

(100/x)*x=(20945.36/563.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=37.170115350488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (37.170115350488) to get x
100/37.170115350488=x
2.6903333244213=x
x=2.6903333244213

now we have:
