1. We assume, that the number 35734.44 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 35734.44 is 100%, so we can write it down as 35734.44=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 35734.44=100%
2) x=21.88%
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:
35734.44/x=100%/21.88%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
