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

1. We assume, that the number 62761.6 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 62761.6, so we can write it down as 100%=62761.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 1569.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1569.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=62761.6
2) x%=1569.04
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%=62761.6/1569.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1569.04 is what percent of 62761.6

(100/x)*x=(62761.6/1569.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40) to get x
100/40=x
2.5=x
x=2.5

now we have:
1569.04 is 2.5% of 62761.6
