1. We assume, that the number 14986.3 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 14986.3, so we can write it down as 100%=14986.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 981.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=981.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14986.3
2) x%=981.44
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%=14986.3/981.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 981.44 is what percent of 14986.3

(100/x)*x=(14986.3/981.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.269705738507*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.269705738507) to get x
100/15.269705738507=x
6.5489146754035=x
x=6.5489146754035

now we have:
