1. We assume, that the number 3141.18 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 3141.18, so we can write it down as 100%=3141.18.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3141.18
2) x%=2088.55
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%=3141.18/2088.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2088.55 is what percent of 3141.18

(100/x)*x=(3141.18/2088.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5040003830409*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5040003830409) to get x
100/1.5040003830409=x
66.489344768526=x
x=66.489344768526

now we have:
