1. We assume, that the number 593.049 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 593.049, so we can write it down as 100%=593.049.
4. We know, that x% equals 66.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=66.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=593.049
2) x%=66.36
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%=593.049/66.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 66.36 is what percent of 593.049

(100/x)*x=(593.049/66.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.9368444846293*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.9368444846293) to get x
100/8.9368444846293=x
11.189631885392=x
x=11.189631885392

now we have:
