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

1. We assume, that the number 270400 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 270400, so we can write it down as 100%=270400.
4. We know, that x% equals 121.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=121.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=270400
2) x%=121.68
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%=270400/121.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 121.68 is what percent of 270400

100%/x%=270400/121.68
(100/x)*x=(270400/121.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2222.2222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2222.2222222222) to get x
100/2222.2222222222=x
0.045=x
x=0.045

now we have:
