1. We assume, that the number 1797.81 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 1797.81, so we can write it down as 100%=1797.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 7180.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7180.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1797.81
2) x%=7180.8
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%=1797.81/7180.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7180.8 is what percent of 1797.81
