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

1. We assume, that the number 3155.09 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 3155.09, so we can write it down as 100%=3155.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 88.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=88.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3155.09
2) x%=88.99
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%=3155.09/88.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 88.99 is what percent of 3155.09

100%/x%=3155.09/88.99
(100/x)*x=(3155.09/88.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.454433082369*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.454433082369) to get x
100/35.454433082369=x
2.8205217600766=x
x=2.8205217600766

now we have:
