1. We assume, that the number 2196.47 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 2196.47, so we can write it down as 100%=2196.47.
4. We know, that x% equals 219.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=219.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2196.47
2) x%=219.28
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%=2196.47/219.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 219.28 is what percent of 2196.47
