To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 1730.78 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 1730.78, so we can write it down as 100%=1730.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 65.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1730.78
2) x%=65.69
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%=1730.78/65.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65.69 is what percent of 1730.78

100/26.347693712894=x
3.7953986064087=x
x=3.7953986064087

now we have:
