1. We assume, that the number 2661.92 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 2661.92, so we can write it down as 100%=2661.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 189.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=189.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2661.92
2) x%=189.17
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%=2661.92/189.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 189.17 is what percent of 2661.92

(100/x)*x=(2661.92/189.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.071575831263*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.071575831263) to get x
100/14.071575831263=x
7.1065246138126=x
x=7.1065246138126

now we have:
