1. We assume, that the number 1668.98 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 1668.98, so we can write it down as 100%=1668.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1668.98
2) x%=153.79
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%=1668.98/153.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.79 is what percent of 1668.98

100%/x%=1668.98/153.79
(100/x)*x=(1668.98/153.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.852331100852*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.852331100852) to get x
100/10.852331100852=x
9.2146101211518=x
x=9.2146101211518

now we have:
153.79 is 9.2146101211518% of 1668.98
