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

1. We assume, that the number 194.93 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 194.93, so we can write it down as 100%=194.93.
4. We know, that x% equals 119.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=119.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=194.93
2) x%=119.88
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%=194.93/119.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 119.88 is what percent of 194.93

100%/x%=194.93/119.88
(100/x)*x=(194.93/119.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.626042709376*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.626042709376) to get x
100/1.626042709376=x
61.498999640897=x
x=61.498999640897

now we have:
