1. We assume, that the number 2699.77 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 2699.77, so we can write it down as 100%=2699.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 81.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2699.77
2) x%=81.76
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%=2699.77/81.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81.76 is what percent of 2699.77

100%/x%=2699.77/81.76
(100/x)*x=(2699.77/81.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.020670254403*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.020670254403) to get x
100/33.020670254403=x
3.0284061234846=x
x=3.0284061234846

now we have:
