1. We assume, that the number 979.55 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 979.55, so we can write it down as 100%=979.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 591.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=591.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=979.55
2) x%=591.25
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%=979.55/591.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 591.25 is what percent of 979.55

(100/x)*x=(979.55/591.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6567441860465*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6567441860465) to get x
100/1.6567441860465=x
60.359348680517=x
x=60.359348680517

now we have:
