1. We assume, that the number 35640.8 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 35640.8, so we can write it down as 100%=35640.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 12616.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12616.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35640.8
2) x%=12616.2
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%=35640.8/12616.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12616.2 is what percent of 35640.8

(100/x)*x=(35640.8/12616.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8250027742109*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8250027742109) to get x
100/2.8250027742109=x
35.398195326704=x
x=35.398195326704

now we have:
