1. We assume, that the number 6679.28 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 6679.28, so we can write it down as 100%=6679.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 40.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=40.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6679.28
2) x%=40.95
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%=6679.28/40.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 40.95 is what percent of 6679.28
