1. We assume, that the number 7545.7 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 7545.7, so we can write it down as 100%=7545.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 1261.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1261.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7545.7
2) x%=1261.8
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%=7545.7/1261.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1261.8 is what percent of 7545.7

(100/x)*x=(7545.7/1261.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.9801077825329*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9801077825329) to get x
100/5.9801077825329=x
16.722106630266=x
x=16.722106630266

now we have:
