1. We assume, that the number 10386.09 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 10386.09, so we can write it down as 100%=10386.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 3540.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3540.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10386.09

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%=10386.09/3540.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3540.04 is what percent of 10386.09
