1. We assume, that the number 21250 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 21250, so we can write it down as 100%=21250.
4. We know, that x% equals 6653.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6653.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21250
2) x%=6653.85
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%=21250/6653.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6653.85 is what percent of 21250
