1. We assume, that the number 1976.44 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 1976.44, so we can write it down as 100%=1976.44.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1976.44
2) x%=1551.96
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%=1976.44/1551.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1551.96 is what percent of 1976.44

(100/x)*x=(1976.44/1551.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2735122039228*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2735122039228) to get x
100/1.2735122039228=x
78.523000951205=x
x=78.523000951205

now we have:
