1. We assume, that the number 240000.32 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 240000.32, so we can write it down as 100%=240000.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 6000.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6000.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=240000.32

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%=240000.32/6000.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6000.8 is what percent of 240000.32

100=39.994720703906*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.994720703906) to get x
100/39.994720703906=x
2.50032999956=x
x=2.50032999956

now we have:
