1. We assume, that the number 33221.97 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 33221.97, so we can write it down as 100%=33221.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33221.97
2) x%=1.58
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%=33221.97/1.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.58 is what percent of 33221.97

(100/x)*x=(33221.97/1.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21026.563291139*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21026.563291139) to get x
100/21026.563291139=x
0.004755888949391=x
x=0.004755888949391

now we have:
