1. We assume, that the number 5411.56 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 5411.56, so we can write it down as 100%=5411.56.
4. We know, that x% equals 801.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=801.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5411.56
2) x%=801.49
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%=5411.56/801.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 801.49 is what percent of 5411.56
