1. We assume, that the number 26691.97 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 26691.97, so we can write it down as 100%=26691.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 85.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=85.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26691.97
2) x%=85.03
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%=26691.97/85.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 85.03 is what percent of 26691.97
