1. We assume, that the number 31346.5 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 31346.5, so we can write it down as 100%=31346.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 6157.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6157.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31346.5
2) x%=6157.2
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%=31346.5/6157.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6157.2 is what percent of 31346.5

100%/x%=31346.5/6157.2
(100/x)*x=(31346.5/6157.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0910316377574*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0910316377574) to get x
100/5.0910316377574=x
19.642384317228=x
x=19.642384317228

now we have:
6157.2 is 19.642384317228% of 31346.5
