1. We assume, that the number 7488276.149 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 7488276.149 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7488276.149=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7488276.149=100%
2) x=1.7%
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:
7488276.149/x=100%/1.7%
