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

1. We assume, that the number 834.73 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 834.73, so we can write it down as 100%=834.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 617.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=617.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=834.73
2) x%=617.37
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%=834.73/617.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 617.37 is what percent of 834.73

100%/x%=834.73/617.37
(100/x)*x=(834.73/617.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3520741208676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3520741208676) to get x
100/1.3520741208676=x
73.960442298707=x
x=73.960442298707

now we have:
