1. We assume, that the number 2101.93 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 2101.93, so we can write it down as 100%=2101.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 995.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=995.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2101.93
2) x%=995.34
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%=2101.93/995.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 995.34 is what percent of 2101.93

100%/x%=2101.93/995.34
(100/x)*x=(2101.93/995.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1117708521711*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1117708521711) to get x
100/2.1117708521711=x
47.353622623018=x
x=47.353622623018

now we have:
