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

1. We assume, that the number 54488.4 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 54488.4, so we can write it down as 100%=54488.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 3717.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3717.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=54488.4
2) x%=3717.1
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%=54488.4/3717.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3717.1 is what percent of 54488.4

100%/x%=54488.4/3717.1
(100/x)*x=(54488.4/3717.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.65884695058*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.65884695058) to get x
100/14.65884695058=x
6.8218189559613=x
x=6.8218189559613

now we have:
