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

1. We assume, that the number 49955 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 49955, so we can write it down as 100%=49955.
4. We know, that x% equals 1597.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1597.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=49955
2) x%=1597.6
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%=49955/1597.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1597.6 is what percent of 49955

100%/x%=49955/1597.6
(100/x)*x=(49955/1597.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.268778167251*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.268778167251) to get x
100/31.268778167251=x
3.1980782704434=x
x=3.1980782704434

now we have:
