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

1. We assume, that the number 1877.97 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 1877.97, so we can write it down as 100%=1877.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1877.97
2) x%=37.19
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%=1877.97/37.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.19 is what percent of 1877.97

100%/x%=1877.97/37.19
(100/x)*x=(1877.97/37.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=50.49663888142*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (50.49663888142) to get x
100/50.49663888142=x
1.9803298242251=x
x=1.9803298242251

now we have:
