1. We assume, that the number 2345.95 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 2345.95, so we can write it down as 100%=2345.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 217.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=217.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2345.95
2) x%=217.91
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%=2345.95/217.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 217.91 is what percent of 2345.95

100%/x%=2345.95/217.91
(100/x)*x=(2345.95/217.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.765683080171*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.765683080171) to get x
100/10.765683080171=x
9.2887742705514=x
x=9.2887742705514

now we have:
