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

1. We assume, that the number 3479.74 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 3479.74, so we can write it down as 100%=3479.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 60.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=60.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3479.74
2) x%=60.52
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%=3479.74/60.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 60.52 is what percent of 3479.74

100%/x%=3479.74/60.52
(100/x)*x=(3479.74/60.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=57.497356245869*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (57.497356245869) to get x
100/57.497356245869=x
1.7392104007771=x
x=1.7392104007771

now we have:
