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

1. We assume, that the number 51367 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 51367, so we can write it down as 100%=51367.
4. We know, that x% equals 2568.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2568.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=51367
2) x%=2568.35
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%=51367/2568.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2568.35 is what percent of 51367

100%/x%=51367/2568.35
(100/x)*x=(51367/2568.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20) to get x
100/20=x
5=x
x=5

now we have:
