1. We assume, that the number 3958.33 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 3958.33, so we can write it down as 100%=3958.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 241.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=241.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3958.33
2) x%=241.32
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%=3958.33/241.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 241.32 is what percent of 3958.33

100%/x%=3958.33/241.32
(100/x)*x=(3958.33/241.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.40282612299*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.40282612299) to get x
100/16.40282612299=x
6.0965103970614=x
x=6.0965103970614

now we have:
