1. We assume, that the number 13950.2 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 13950.2, so we can write it down as 100%=13950.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 8423.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8423.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=13950.2
2) x%=8423.81
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%=13950.2/8423.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8423.81 is what percent of 13950.2

(100/x)*x=(13950.2/8423.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.656043999093*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.656043999093) to get x
100/1.656043999093=x
60.384869034136=x
x=60.384869034136

now we have:
