1. We assume, that the number 21842.5 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 21842.5, so we can write it down as 100%=21842.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 9518.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9518.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21842.5
2) x%=9518.7
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%=21842.5/9518.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9518.7 is what percent of 21842.5
