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

1. We assume, that the number 1328.62 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 1328.62, so we can write it down as 100%=1328.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 247.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=247.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1328.62
2) x%=247.65
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%=1328.62/247.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 247.65 is what percent of 1328.62

100%/x%=1328.62/247.65
(100/x)*x=(1328.62/247.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3649101554613*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3649101554613) to get x
100/5.3649101554613=x
18.639641131399=x
x=18.639641131399

now we have:
