1. We assume, that the number 11930.8 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 11930.8, so we can write it down as 100%=11930.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 5140.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5140.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11930.8
2) x%=5140.8
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%=11930.8/5140.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5140.8 is what percent of 11930.8

100%/x%=11930.8/5140.8
(100/x)*x=(11930.8/5140.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3208061002179*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3208061002179) to get x
100/2.3208061002179=x
43.088476883361=x
x=43.088476883361

now we have:
5140.8 is 43.088476883361% of 11930.8
