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

1. We assume, that the number 787.79 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 787.79, so we can write it down as 100%=787.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 946.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=946.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=787.79
2) x%=946.62
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%=787.79/946.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 946.62 is what percent of 787.79

(100/x)*x=(787.79/946.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.83221355982337*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.83221355982337) to get x
100/0.83221355982337=x
120.16146434964=x
x=120.16146434964

now we have:
