1. We assume, that the number 1526.57 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 1526.57, so we can write it down as 100%=1526.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 117.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=117.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1526.57
2) x%=117.61
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%=1526.57/117.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 117.61 is what percent of 1526.57

100%/x%=1526.57/117.61
(100/x)*x=(1526.57/117.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.979933679109*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.979933679109) to get x
100/12.979933679109=x
7.7041996108924=x
x=7.7041996108924

now we have:
