1. We assume, that the number 37581.91 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 37581.91, so we can write it down as 100%=37581.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37581.91
2) x%=23.09
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%=37581.91/23.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.09 is what percent of 37581.91

100/1627.6271113036=x
0.061439133881168=x
x=0.061439133881168

now we have:
