1. We assume, that the number 64348.69 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 64348.69 is 100%, so we can write it down as 64348.69=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.47% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.47%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 64348.69=100%
2) x=2.47%
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:
64348.69/x=100%/2.47%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
