1. We assume, that the number 62470 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 62470, so we can write it down as 100%=62470.
4. We know, that x% equals 1639.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1639.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=62470
2) x%=1639.23
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%=62470/1639.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1639.23 is what percent of 62470
