1. We assume, that the number 8852.5 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 8852.5, so we can write it down as 100%=8852.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 6648.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6648.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8852.5
2) x%=6648.5
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%=8852.5/6648.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6648.5 is what percent of 8852.5

(100/x)*x=(8852.5/6648.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3315033466195*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3315033466195) to get x
100/1.3315033466195=x
75.10307822649=x
x=75.10307822649

now we have:
