1. We assume, that the number 17360 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 17360, so we can write it down as 100%=17360.
4. We know, that x% equals 6699.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6699.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17360
2) x%=6699.63
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%=17360/6699.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6699.63 is what percent of 17360
