1. We assume, that the number 139000 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 139000, so we can write it down as 100%=139000.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=139000
2) x%=13739.43
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%=139000/13739.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 13739.43 is what percent of 139000
