1. We assume, that the number 851.84 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 851.84, so we can write it down as 100%=851.84.
4. We know, that x% equals 3047.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3047.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=851.84
2) x%=3047.49
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%=851.84/3047.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3047.49 is what percent of 851.84
