1. We assume, that the number 1999.86 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 1999.86, so we can write it down as 100%=1999.86.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1999.86
2) x%=1517.19
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%=1999.86/1517.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1517.19 is what percent of 1999.86

(100/x)*x=(1999.86/1517.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3181341822712*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3181341822712) to get x
100/1.3181341822712=x
75.864810536738=x
x=75.864810536738

now we have:
