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

1. We assume, that the number 2808.8 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 2808.8, so we can write it down as 100%=2808.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 1595.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1595.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2808.8
2) x%=1595.52
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%=2808.8/1595.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1595.52 is what percent of 2808.8

(100/x)*x=(2808.8/1595.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7604292017649*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7604292017649) to get x
100/1.7604292017649=x
56.804329250926=x
x=56.804329250926

now we have:
