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

1. We assume, that the number 4093.805 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 4093.805, so we can write it down as 100%=4093.805.
4. We know, that x% equals 1640.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1640.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4093.805
2) x%=1640.01
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%=4093.805/1640.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1640.01 is what percent of 4093.805

100%/x%=4093.805/1640.01
(100/x)*x=(4093.805/1640.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4962073401991*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4962073401991) to get x
100/2.4962073401991=x
40.060774756003=x
x=40.060774756003

now we have:
