1. You find, that the number 9.2 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. You need to find out what x is.


3. If 100% equals 9.2, you can write it down as 100%=9.2.


4. Now you know, that x% equals 43.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.7.


5. Now you have two simple equations:

1) 100%=9.2

2) x%=43.7

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%=9.2/43.7

7. Solution for 43.7 is what percent of 9.2

100%/x%=9.2/43.7
(100/x)*x=(9.2/43.7)*x - you multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.210526315789*x - you divide both sides of the equation by (0.210526315789) to get x
100/0.210526315789=x
475=x
x=475

So the answer is 475%! Hope it works!
