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

1. We assume, that the number 38166 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 38166, so we can write it down as 100%=38166.
4. We know, that x% equals 238.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=238.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38166
2) x%=238.68
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%=38166/238.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 238.68 is what percent of 38166

100%/x%=38166/238.68
(100/x)*x=(38166/238.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=159.90447461036*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (159.90447461036) to get x
100/159.90447461036=x
0.62537336896714=x
x=0.62537336896714

now we have:
