1. We assume, that the number 290.294 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 290.294, so we can write it down as 100%=290.294.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=290.294
2) x%=78.33
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%=290.294/78.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 78.33 is what percent of 290.294
