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

1. We assume, that the number 10100.36 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 10100.36, so we can write it down as 100%=10100.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 1912.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1912.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10100.36
2) x%=1912.38
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%=10100.36/1912.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1912.38 is what percent of 10100.36

100%/x%=10100.36/1912.38
(100/x)*x=(10100.36/1912.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2815653792656*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2815653792656) to get x
100/5.2815653792656=x
18.933780578118=x
x=18.933780578118

now we have:
