1. We assume, that the number 23.038 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 23.038, so we can write it down as 100%=23.038.
4. We know, that x% equals 15937.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=15937.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.038
2) x%=15937.39
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%=23.038/15937.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 15937.39 is what percent of 23.038

(100/x)*x=(23.038/15937.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0014455315456295*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0014455315456295) to get x
100/0.0014455315456295=x
69178.704748676=x
x=69178.704748676

now we have:
