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

1. We assume, that the number 549.98 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 549.98, so we can write it down as 100%=549.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 632.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=632.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=549.98
2) x%=632.72
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%=549.98/632.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 632.72 is what percent of 549.98

100%/x%=549.98/632.72
(100/x)*x=(549.98/632.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.86923125553167*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.86923125553167) to get x
100/0.86923125553167=x
115.04418342485=x
x=115.04418342485

now we have:
