1. We assume, that the number 30111.58 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 30111.58, so we can write it down as 100%=30111.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 1885.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1885.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30111.58
2) x%=1885.5
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%=30111.58/1885.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1885.5 is what percent of 30111.58

(100/x)*x=(30111.58/1885.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.970076902678*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.970076902678) to get x
100/15.970076902678=x
6.2617106110008=x
x=6.2617106110008

now we have:
