1. We assume, that the number 6949.73 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 6949.73, so we can write it down as 100%=6949.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 326.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=326.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6949.73
2) x%=326.8
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%=6949.73/326.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 326.8 is what percent of 6949.73

100%/x%=6949.73/326.8
(100/x)*x=(6949.73/326.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.266003671971*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.266003671971) to get x
100/21.266003671971=x
4.7023409542529=x
x=4.7023409542529

now we have:
