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

1. We assume, that the number 8351.26 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 8351.26, so we can write it down as 100%=8351.26.
4. We know, that x% equals 74.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=74.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8351.26
2) x%=74.21
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%=8351.26/74.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 74.21 is what percent of 8351.26

100%/x%=8351.26/74.21
(100/x)*x=(8351.26/74.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=112.53550734402*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (112.53550734402) to get x
100/112.53550734402=x
0.88860842555495=x
x=0.88860842555495

now we have:
