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

1. We assume, that the number 18996 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 18996, so we can write it down as 100%=18996.
4. We know, that x% equals 136.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=136.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18996
2) x%=136.98
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%=18996/136.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 136.98 is what percent of 18996

100%/x%=18996/136.98
(100/x)*x=(18996/136.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=138.67717915024*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (138.67717915024) to get x
100/138.67717915024=x
0.72109917877448=x
x=0.72109917877448

now we have:
