Hi :)
It's not really wrong but there needs to be some indication that it is a 
percentage figure.  The original numbers don't really warrant more than 2 
decimal places.  Another way of removing problems with ambiguity would be to 
write the equation as
= 556.85 * 100 / 646.15
Then it doesn't matter if  (100/646.15) is calculated first or the (556.85 * 
100), either way the answer is about the same, hopefully exactly the same.

Why not simply formatting the correct value as percentage? This way we have the indication that it is a percentage figure while having the correct relation for further calculations.
