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

1. We assume, that the number 388.18 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 388.18, so we can write it down as 100%=388.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 384.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=384.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=388.18
2) x%=384.94
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%=388.18/384.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 384.94 is what percent of 388.18

(100/x)*x=(388.18/384.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0084168961397*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0084168961397) to get x
100/1.0084168961397=x
99.16533566902=x
x=99.16533566902

now we have:
