1. We assume, that the number 6496.5 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 6496.5, so we can write it down as 100%=6496.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 3530.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3530.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6496.5
2) x%=3530.75
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%=6496.5/3530.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3530.75 is what percent of 6496.5

(100/x)*x=(6496.5/3530.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8399773419245*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8399773419245) to get x
100/1.8399773419245=x
54.348495343647=x
x=54.348495343647

now we have:
