1. We assume, that the number 954.75 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 954.75, so we can write it down as 100%=954.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 749.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=749.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=954.75
2) x%=749.25
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%=954.75/749.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 749.25 is what percent of 954.75

100%/x%=954.75/749.25
(100/x)*x=(954.75/749.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2742742742743*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2742742742743) to get x
100/1.2742742742743=x
78.47604084839=x
x=78.47604084839

now we have:
