1. We assume, that the number 174.961 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 174.961, so we can write it down as 100%=174.961.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=174.961
2) x%=9500.65
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%=174.961/9500.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9500.65 is what percent of 174.961

100=0.018415687347708*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.018415687347708) to get x
100/0.018415687347708=x
5430.1530055269=x
x=5430.1530055269

now we have:
