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

1. We assume, that the number 895.93 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 895.93, so we can write it down as 100%=895.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=895.93
2) x%=10.55
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%=895.93/10.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.55 is what percent of 895.93

100%/x%=895.93/10.55
(100/x)*x=(895.93/10.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=84.922274881517*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (84.922274881517) to get x
100/84.922274881517=x
1.1775473530298=x
x=1.1775473530298

now we have:
