1. We assume, that the number 1416.39 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 1416.39, so we can write it down as 100%=1416.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 566.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=566.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1416.39
2) x%=566.56
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%=1416.39/566.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 566.56 is what percent of 1416.39
