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

1. We assume, that the number 5820.35 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 5820.35, so we can write it down as 100%=5820.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 11.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5820.35
2) x%=11.46
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%=5820.35/11.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11.46 is what percent of 5820.35

(100/x)*x=(5820.35/11.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=507.88394415358*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (507.88394415358) to get x
100/507.88394415358=x
0.19689537570765=x
x=0.19689537570765

now we have:
