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

1. We assume, that the number 623.591 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 623.591, so we can write it down as 100%=623.591.
4. We know, that x% equals 38.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=38.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=623.591
2) x%=38.14
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%=623.591/38.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 38.14 is what percent of 623.591

100%/x%=623.591/38.14
(100/x)*x=(623.591/38.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.350052438385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.350052438385) to get x
100/16.350052438385=x
6.1161883349824=x
x=6.1161883349824

now we have:
