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

1. We assume, that the number 36960 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 36960, so we can write it down as 100%=36960.
4. We know, that x% equals 8986.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8986.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36960
2) x%=8986.12
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%=36960/8986.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8986.12 is what percent of 36960

(100/x)*x=(36960/8986.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.113009841845*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.113009841845) to get x
100/4.113009841845=x
24.313095238095=x
x=24.313095238095

now we have:
