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

1. We assume, that the number 544.48 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 544.48, so we can write it down as 100%=544.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 61.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=61.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=544.48
2) x%=61.83
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%=544.48/61.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 61.83 is what percent of 544.48

100%/x%=544.48/61.83
(100/x)*x=(544.48/61.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.8060811903607*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.8060811903607) to get x
100/8.8060811903607=x
11.355789009697=x
x=11.355789009697

now we have:
