1. We assume, that the number 21838.5 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 21838.5, so we can write it down as 100%=21838.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1594.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1594.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21838.5
2) x%=1594.5
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%=21838.5/1594.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1594.5 is what percent of 21838.5

100/13.696142991533=x
7.3013256404973=x
x=7.3013256404973

now we have:
