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

1. We assume, that the number 1173.77 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 1173.77, so we can write it down as 100%=1173.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 76.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=76.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1173.77
2) x%=76.22
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%=1173.77/76.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 76.22 is what percent of 1173.77

(100/x)*x=(1173.77/76.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.399763841511*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.399763841511) to get x
100/15.399763841511=x
6.49360607274=x
x=6.49360607274

now we have:
