1. We assume, that the number 34650 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 34650, so we can write it down as 100%=34650.
4. We know, that x% equals 1732.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1732.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34650
2) x%=1732.56
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%=34650/1732.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1732.56 is what percent of 34650

100%/x%=34650/1732.56
(100/x)*x=(34650/1732.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.999307383294*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.999307383294) to get x
100/19.999307383294=x
5.0001731601732=x
x=5.0001731601732

now we have:
