1. We assume, that the number 8420.28 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 8420.28, so we can write it down as 100%=8420.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 1206.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1206.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8420.28
2) x%=1206.7
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%=8420.28/1206.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1206.7 is what percent of 8420.28
