1. We assume, that the number 1887.44 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 1887.44, so we can write it down as 100%=1887.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1887.44
2) x%=33.73
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%=1887.44/33.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.73 is what percent of 1887.44
