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

1. We assume, that the number 315600 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 315600, so we can write it down as 100%=315600.
4. We know, that x% equals 18304.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=18304.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=315600
2) x%=18304.8
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%=315600/18304.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 18304.8 is what percent of 315600

(100/x)*x=(315600/18304.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.241379310345*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.241379310345) to get x
100/17.241379310345=x
5.8=x
x=5.8

now we have:
