1. We assume, that the number 3599.5 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 3599.5, so we can write it down as 100%=3599.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 3518.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3518.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3599.5
2) x%=3518.75
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%=3599.5/3518.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3518.75 is what percent of 3599.5

(100/x)*x=(3599.5/3518.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0229484902309*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0229484902309) to get x
100/1.0229484902309=x
97.756632865676=x
x=97.756632865676

now we have:
