To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 3834.2 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 3834.2, so we can write it down as 100%=3834.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 227.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=227.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3834.2
2) x%=227.52
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%=3834.2/227.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 227.52 is what percent of 3834.2

100%/x%=3834.2/227.52
(100/x)*x=(3834.2/227.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.852144866385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.852144866385) to get x
100/16.852144866385=x
5.9339627562464=x
x=5.9339627562464

now we have:
