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

1. We assume, that the number 33700000 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 33700000, so we can write it down as 100%=33700000.
4. We know, that x% equals 268.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=268.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=33700000
2) x%=268.75
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%=33700000/268.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 268.75 is what percent of 33700000

100%/x%=33700000/268.75
(100/x)*x=(33700000/268.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=125395.34883721*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (125395.34883721) to get x
100/125395.34883721=x
0.00079747774480712=x
x=0.00079747774480712

now we have:
