1. We assume, that the number 2912.81 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 2912.81, so we can write it down as 100%=2912.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 174.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=174.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2912.81
2) x%=174.77
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%=2912.81/174.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 174.77 is what percent of 2912.81

(100/x)*x=(2912.81/174.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.666533157865*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.666533157865) to get x
100/16.666533157865=x
6.0000480635538=x
x=6.0000480635538

now we have:
