1. We assume, that the number 2078.12 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 2078.12, so we can write it down as 100%=2078.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 2054.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2054.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2078.12
2) x%=2054.98
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%=2078.12/2054.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2054.98 is what percent of 2078.12

(100/x)*x=(2078.12/2054.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0112604502234*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0112604502234) to get x
100/1.0112604502234=x
98.886493561488=x
x=98.886493561488

now we have:
