1. We assume, that the number 58086.8 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 58086.8, so we can write it down as 100%=58086.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 34852.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34852.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=58086.8
2) x%=34852.1
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%=58086.8/34852.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34852.1 is what percent of 58086.8

(100/x)*x=(58086.8/34852.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6666657102441*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6666657102441) to get x
100/1.6666657102441=x
60.00003443123=x
x=60.00003443123

now we have:
