1. We assume, that the number 9074.25 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 9074.25, so we can write it down as 100%=9074.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 8557.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8557.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9074.25
2) x%=8557.5
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%=9074.25/8557.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8557.5 is what percent of 9074.25

(100/x)*x=(9074.25/8557.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0603856266433*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0603856266433) to get x
100/1.0603856266433=x
94.305314488801=x
x=94.305314488801

now we have:
