1. We assume, that the number 18043 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 18043, so we can write it down as 100%=18043.
4. We know, that x% equals 2798.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2798.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18043
2) x%=2798.13
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%=18043/2798.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2798.13 is what percent of 18043
