1. We assume, that the number 38356 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 38356, so we can write it down as 100%=38356.
4. We know, that x% equals 767.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=767.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38356
2) x%=767.79
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%=38356/767.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 767.79 is what percent of 38356

100%/x%=38356/767.79
(100/x)*x=(38356/767.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.956368277784*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.956368277784) to get x
100/49.956368277784=x
2.0017467932005=x
x=2.0017467932005

now we have:
