1. We assume, that the number 2501.14 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 2501.14, so we can write it down as 100%=2501.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 1234.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1234.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2501.14
2) x%=1234.74
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%=2501.14/1234.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1234.74 is what percent of 2501.14

100%/x%=2501.14/1234.74
(100/x)*x=(2501.14/1234.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.025641025641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.025641025641) to get x
100/2.025641025641=x
49.367088607595=x
x=49.367088607595

now we have:
