1. We assume, that the number 5699.86 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 5699.86, so we can write it down as 100%=5699.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 1590.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1590.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5699.86
2) x%=1590.6
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%=5699.86/1590.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1590.6 is what percent of 5699.86
