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

1. We assume, that the number 1276.92 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 1276.92, so we can write it down as 100%=1276.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 18.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1276.92
2) x%=18.52
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%=1276.92/18.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18.52 is what percent of 1276.92
