1. We assume, that the number 12557.04 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 12557.04, so we can write it down as 100%=12557.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 2511.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2511.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12557.04
2) x%=2511.41
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%=12557.04/2511.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2511.41 is what percent of 12557.04

(100/x)*x=(12557.04/2511.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9999960181731*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9999960181731) to get x
100/4.9999960181731=x
20.00001592732=x
x=20.00001592732

now we have:
