1. We assume, that the number 19986.95 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 19986.95, so we can write it down as 100%=19986.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 8708.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8708.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19986.95
2) x%=8708.1
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%=19986.95/8708.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8708.1 is what percent of 19986.95

(100/x)*x=(19986.95/8708.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2952136516577*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2952136516577) to get x
100/2.2952136516577=x
43.568928725994=x
x=43.568928725994

now we have:
