1. We assume, that the number 1802.74 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 1802.74, so we can write it down as 100%=1802.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 375.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=375.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1802.74
2) x%=375.52
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%=1802.74/375.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 375.52 is what percent of 1802.74

100%/x%=1802.74/375.52
(100/x)*x=(1802.74/375.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8006497656583*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8006497656583) to get x
100/4.8006497656583=x
20.830513551594=x
x=20.830513551594

now we have:
