1. We assume, that the number 3015.93 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 3015.93, so we can write it down as 100%=3015.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 2412.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2412.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3015.93
2) x%=2412.74
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%=3015.93/2412.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2412.74 is what percent of 3015.93

(100/x)*x=(3015.93/2412.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2500020723327*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2500020723327) to get x
100/1.2500020723327=x
79.999867370927=x
x=79.999867370927

now we have:
