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

1. We assume, that the number 85242 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 85242, so we can write it down as 100%=85242.
4. We know, that x% equals 44.772 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=44.772.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=85242
2) x%=44.772
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%=85242/44.772
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 44.772 is what percent of 85242

100%/x%=85242/44.772
(100/x)*x=(85242/44.772)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1903.9131600107*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1903.9131600107) to get x
100/1903.9131600107=x
0.052523403955796=x
x=0.052523403955796

now we have:
