1. We assume, that the number 15510.5 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 15510.5, so we can write it down as 100%=15510.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 9836.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9836.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15510.5
2) x%=9836.02
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%=15510.5/9836.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9836.02 is what percent of 15510.5

(100/x)*x=(15510.5/9836.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5769081396744*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5769081396744) to get x
100/1.5769081396744=x
63.415234840914=x
x=63.415234840914

now we have:
