1. We assume, that the number 968.97 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 968.97, so we can write it down as 100%=968.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 117.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=117.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=968.97
2) x%=117.68
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%=968.97/117.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 117.68 is what percent of 968.97

100%/x%=968.97/117.68
(100/x)*x=(968.97/117.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.2339394969409*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2339394969409) to get x
100/8.2339394969409=x
12.144854845867=x
x=12.144854845867

now we have:
