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

1. We assume, that the number 2089.23 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 2089.23, so we can write it down as 100%=2089.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2089.23
2) x%=64.99
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%=2089.23/64.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.99 is what percent of 2089.23

100%/x%=2089.23/64.99
(100/x)*x=(2089.23/64.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.146945683951*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.146945683951) to get x
100/32.146945683951=x
3.110715431044=x
x=3.110715431044

now we have:
