1. We assume, that the number 6208.33 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 6208.33, so we can write it down as 100%=6208.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 347.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=347.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6208.33
2) x%=347.72
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%=6208.33/347.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 347.72 is what percent of 6208.33

100%/x%=6208.33/347.72
(100/x)*x=(6208.33/347.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.854394340274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.854394340274) to get x
100/17.854394340274=x
5.6008620675769=x
x=5.6008620675769

now we have:
347.72 is 5.6008620675769% of 6208.33
