1. We assume, that the number 243.939 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 243.939, so we can write it down as 100%=243.939.
4. We know, that x% equals 153.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=153.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=243.939
2) x%=153.11
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%=243.939/153.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 153.11 is what percent of 243.939
