1. We assume, that the number 54912.35 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 54912.35, so we can write it down as 100%=54912.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54912.35
2) x%=2.15
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%=54912.35/2.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.15 is what percent of 54912.35
