1. We assume, that the number 7937.6 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 7937.6, so we can write it down as 100%=7937.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 3391.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3391.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7937.6
2) x%=3391.78
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%=7937.6/3391.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3391.78 is what percent of 7937.6
