1. We assume, that the number 3419.34 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 3419.34, so we can write it down as 100%=3419.34.
4. We know, that x% equals 151.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=151.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3419.34
2) x%=151.62
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%=3419.34/151.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 151.62 is what percent of 3419.34

(100/x)*x=(3419.34/151.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.552037989711*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.552037989711) to get x
100/22.552037989711=x
4.434189054028=x
x=4.434189054028

now we have:
