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

1. We assume, that the number 4425.8 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 4425.8, so we can write it down as 100%=4425.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 974.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=974.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4425.8
2) x%=974.34
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%=4425.8/974.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 974.34 is what percent of 4425.8

(100/x)*x=(4425.8/974.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.542356877476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.542356877476) to get x
100/4.542356877476=x
22.015002937322=x
x=22.015002937322

now we have:
