1. We assume, that the number 1766.17 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 1766.17, so we can write it down as 100%=1766.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 653.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=653.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1766.17
2) x%=653.57
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%=1766.17/653.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 653.57 is what percent of 1766.17

100/2.7023425187815=x
37.004931575103=x
x=37.004931575103

now we have:
