1. We assume, that the number 5149.73 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 5149.73, so we can write it down as 100%=5149.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5149.73
2) x%=64.15
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%=5149.73/64.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.15 is what percent of 5149.73
