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

1. We assume, that the number 2616.5 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 2616.5, so we can write it down as 100%=2616.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1568.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1568.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2616.5
2) x%=1568.25
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%=2616.5/1568.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1568.25 is what percent of 2616.5

(100/x)*x=(2616.5/1568.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6684202136139*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6684202136139) to get x
100/1.6684202136139=x
59.936938658513=x
x=59.936938658513

now we have:
