1. We assume, that the number 653.72 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 653.72, so we can write it down as 100%=653.72.
4. We know, that x% equals 566.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=566.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=653.72
2) x%=566.53
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%=653.72/566.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 566.53 is what percent of 653.72
