1. We assume, that the number 1088.51 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 1088.51, so we can write it down as 100%=1088.51.
4. We know, that x% equals 804.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=804.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1088.51
2) x%=804.28
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%=1088.51/804.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 804.28 is what percent of 1088.51

(100/x)*x=(1088.51/804.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3533968269757*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3533968269757) to get x
100/1.3533968269757=x
73.888159043096=x
x=73.888159043096

now we have:
