1. We assume, that the number 3510.29 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 3510.29, so we can write it down as 100%=3510.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 231.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=231.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3510.29
2) x%=231.68
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%=3510.29/231.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 231.68 is what percent of 3510.29

(100/x)*x=(3510.29/231.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.15145890884*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.15145890884) to get x
100/15.15145890884=x
6.6000244994003=x
x=6.6000244994003

now we have:
