To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 38937.6 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 38937.6, so we can write it down as 100%=38937.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 1497.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1497.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38937.6
2) x%=1497.6
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%=38937.6/1497.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1497.6 is what percent of 38937.6

100%/x%=38937.6/1497.6
(100/x)*x=(38937.6/1497.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26) to get x
100/26=x
3.8461538461538=x
x=3.8461538461538

now we have:
1497.6 is 3.8461538461538% of 38937.6
