1. We assume, that the number 13566 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 13566 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13566=100%.
4. We know, that x is 64.2857142857% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=64.2857142857%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13566=100%
