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

1. We assume, that the number 3411.86 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 3411.86, so we can write it down as 100%=3411.86.
4. We know, that x% equals 658.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=658.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3411.86
2) x%=658.02
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%=3411.86/658.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 658.02 is what percent of 3411.86

100%/x%=3411.86/658.02
(100/x)*x=(3411.86/658.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.18503996839*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.18503996839) to get x
100/5.18503996839=x
19.286254418411=x
x=19.286254418411

now we have:
