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

1. We assume, that the number 931.98 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 931.98, so we can write it down as 100%=931.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=931.98
2) x%=130.86
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%=931.98/130.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.86 is what percent of 931.98

100%/x%=931.98/130.86
(100/x)*x=(931.98/130.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.1219624025676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.1219624025676) to get x
100/7.1219624025676=x
14.041073842786=x
x=14.041073842786

now we have:
