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

1. We assume, that the number 3939.18 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 3939.18, so we can write it down as 100%=3939.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 761.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=761.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3939.18
2) x%=761.13
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%=3939.18/761.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 761.13 is what percent of 3939.18

100%/x%=3939.18/761.13
(100/x)*x=(3939.18/761.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1754365220133*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1754365220133) to get x
100/5.1754365220133=x
19.322041643185=x
x=19.322041643185

now we have:
