1. We assume, that the number 3433.96 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 3433.96, so we can write it down as 100%=3433.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 1260.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1260.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3433.96
2) x%=1260.08
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%=3433.96/1260.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1260.08 is what percent of 3433.96

(100/x)*x=(3433.96/1260.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7251920512983*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7251920512983) to get x
100/2.7251920512983=x
36.69466155692=x
x=36.69466155692

now we have:
