1. We assume, that the number 1797.07 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 1797.07, so we can write it down as 100%=1797.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 1534.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1534.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1797.07
2) x%=1534.85
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%=1797.07/1534.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1534.85 is what percent of 1797.07

(100/x)*x=(1797.07/1534.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1708440564225*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1708440564225) to get x
100/1.1708440564225=x
85.408470454685=x
x=85.408470454685

now we have:
