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

1. We assume, that the number 1826.92 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 1826.92, so we can write it down as 100%=1826.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 85.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=85.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1826.92
2) x%=85.21
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%=1826.92/85.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 85.21 is what percent of 1826.92

100/21.440206548527=x
4.6641341711733=x
x=4.6641341711733

now we have:
