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

1. We assume, that the number 2856.64 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 2856.64, so we can write it down as 100%=2856.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 812.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=812.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2856.64
2) x%=812.06
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%=2856.64/812.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 812.06 is what percent of 2856.64

(100/x)*x=(2856.64/812.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5177696229343*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5177696229343) to get x
100/3.5177696229343=x
28.427103170158=x
x=28.427103170158

now we have:
