1. We assume, that the number 318.27 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 318.27, so we can write it down as 100%=318.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 68687 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=68687.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=318.27
2) x%=68687
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%=318.27/68687
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 68687 is what percent of 318.27
