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

1. We assume, that the number 438360 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 438360, so we can write it down as 100%=438360.
4. We know, that x% equals 57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=438360
2) x%=57
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%=438360/57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57 is what percent of 438360

100%/x%=438360/57
(100/x)*x=(438360/57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100/7690.5263157895=x
0.013003011223652=x
x=0.013003011223652

now we have:
