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

1. We assume, that the number 2138000 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 2138000, so we can write it down as 100%=2138000.
4. We know, that x% equals 928000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=928000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2138000
2) x%=928000
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%=2138000/928000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 928000 is what percent of 2138000

(100/x)*x=(2138000/928000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3038793103448*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3038793103448) to get x
100/2.3038793103448=x
43.405051449953=x
x=43.405051449953

now we have:
