1. We assume, that the number 3171.81 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 3171.81, so we can write it down as 100%=3171.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 1452.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1452.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3171.81
2) x%=1452.06
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%=3171.81/1452.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1452.06 is what percent of 3171.81

(100/x)*x=(3171.81/1452.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1843518862857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1843518862857) to get x
100/2.1843518862857=x
45.780169682295=x
x=45.780169682295

now we have:
