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

1. We assume, that the number 104087.1 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 104087.1, so we can write it down as 100%=104087.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 100883.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=100883.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=104087.1
2) x%=100883.4
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%=104087.1/100883.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 100883.4 is what percent of 104087.1

100%/x%=104087.1/100883.4

100=1.0317564634023*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0317564634023) to get x
100/1.0317564634023=x
96.922096974553=x
x=96.922096974553

now we have:
