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

1. We assume, that the number 1922.36 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 1922.36, so we can write it down as 100%=1922.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 289.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=289.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1922.36
2) x%=289.18
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%=1922.36/289.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 289.18 is what percent of 1922.36

(100/x)*x=(1922.36/289.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6476243170344*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6476243170344) to get x
100/6.6476243170344=x
15.042968018477=x
x=15.042968018477

now we have:
