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

1. We assume, that the number 175000 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 175000, so we can write it down as 100%=175000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1189.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1189.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=175000
2) x%=1189.95
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%=175000/1189.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1189.95 is what percent of 175000

(100/x)*x=(175000/1189.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=147.06500273121*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (147.06500273121) to get x
100/147.06500273121=x
0.67997142857143=x
x=0.67997142857143

now we have:
