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

1. We assume, that the number 8593.28 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 8593.28, so we can write it down as 100%=8593.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 337.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=337.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8593.28
2) x%=337.15
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%=8593.28/337.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 337.15 is what percent of 8593.28

100%/x%=8593.28/337.15
(100/x)*x=(8593.28/337.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.488002372831*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.488002372831) to get x
100/25.488002372831=x
3.9234145751099=x
x=3.9234145751099

now we have:
337.15 is 3.9234145751099% of 8593.28
