1. We assume, that the number 283.461 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 283.461 is 100%, so we can write it down as 283.461=100%.
4. We know, that x is 260.832% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=260.832%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 283.461=100%
2) x=260.832%
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:
283.461/x=100%/260.832%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
