1. We assume, that the number 1672.22 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 1672.22, so we can write it down as 100%=1672.22.
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%=1672.22
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%=1672.22/117.61
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 1672.22
