1. We assume, that the number 35670.5 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 35670.5, so we can write it down as 100%=35670.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 6130.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6130.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35670.5
2) x%=6130.5
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%=35670.5/6130.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6130.5 is what percent of 35670.5

(100/x)*x=(35670.5/6130.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8185302993231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8185302993231) to get x
100/5.8185302993231=x
17.186470612972=x
x=17.186470612972

now we have:
