1. We assume, that the number 2513.95 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 2513.95, so we can write it down as 100%=2513.95.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2513.95
2) x%=1989.18
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%=2513.95/1989.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1989.18 is what percent of 2513.95

(100/x)*x=(2513.95/1989.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2638122241326*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2638122241326) to get x
100/1.2638122241326=x
79.125678712783=x
x=79.125678712783

now we have:
