To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 2613.8 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 2613.8, so we can write it down as 100%=2613.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 3659.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3659.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2613.8
2) x%=3659.32
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%=2613.8/3659.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3659.32 is what percent of 2613.8

(100/x)*x=(2613.8/3659.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.71428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.71428571428571) to get x
100/0.71428571428571=x
140=x
x=140

now we have:
