1. We assume, that the number 1748.53 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 1748.53, so we can write it down as 100%=1748.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 917.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=917.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1748.53
2) x%=917.16
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%=1748.53/917.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 917.16 is what percent of 1748.53

(100/x)*x=(1748.53/917.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9064612499455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9064612499455) to get x
100/1.9064612499455=x
52.453203548123=x
x=52.453203548123

now we have:
917.16 is 52.453203548123% of 1748.53
