1. We assume, that the number 15999 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 15999, so we can write it down as 100%=15999.
4. We know, that x% equals 1349.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1349.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15999
2) x%=1349.91
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%=15999/1349.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1349.91 is what percent of 15999

(100/x)*x=(15999/1349.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.85190123786*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.85190123786) to get x
100/11.85190123786=x
8.4374648415526=x
x=8.4374648415526

now we have:
