To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 3138.86 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 3138.86, so we can write it down as 100%=3138.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 1566.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1566.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3138.86
2) x%=1566.6
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%=3138.86/1566.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1566.6 is what percent of 3138.86

(100/x)*x=(3138.86/1566.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0036129196987*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0036129196987) to get x
100/2.0036129196987=x
49.909839878172=x
x=49.909839878172

now we have:
