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

1. We assume, that the number 3000000 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 3000000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 832502.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=832502.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000000

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%=3000000/832502.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 832502.56 is what percent of 3000000
