1. We assume, that the number 3208.85 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 3208.85, so we can write it down as 100%=3208.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 3015.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3015.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3208.85
2) x%=3015.8
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%=3208.85/3015.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3015.8 is what percent of 3208.85
