1. We assume, that the number 60869.57 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 60869.57, so we can write it down as 100%=60869.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 5797.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5797.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=60869.57
2) x%=5797.1
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%=60869.57/5797.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5797.1 is what percent of 60869.57

(100/x)*x=(60869.57/5797.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.500003450001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.500003450001) to get x
100/10.500003450001=x
9.5238063945581=x
x=9.5238063945581

now we have:
