1. We assume, that the number 3981.38 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 3981.38, so we can write it down as 100%=3981.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 1176.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1176.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3981.38
2) x%=1176.31
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%=3981.38/1176.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1176.31 is what percent of 3981.38

(100/x)*x=(3981.38/1176.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3846350026779*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3846350026779) to get x
100/3.3846350026779=x
29.545283293732=x
x=29.545283293732

now we have:
