1. We assume, that the number 3265.38 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 3265.38, so we can write it down as 100%=3265.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 163.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=163.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3265.38
2) x%=163.27
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%=3265.38/163.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 163.27 is what percent of 3265.38

100%/x%=3265.38/163.27
(100/x)*x=(3265.38/163.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.999877503522*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.999877503522) to get x
100/19.999877503522=x
5.0000306243071=x
x=5.0000306243071

now we have:
163.27 is 5.0000306243071% of 3265.38
