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

1. We assume, that the number 5289.3 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 5289.3, so we can write it down as 100%=5289.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 3689.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3689.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5289.3
2) x%=3689.3
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%=5289.3/3689.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3689.3 is what percent of 5289.3

100%/x%=5289.3/3689.3
(100/x)*x=(5289.3/3689.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4336866072155*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4336866072155) to get x
100/1.4336866072155=x
69.750250505738=x
x=69.750250505738

now we have:
