1. We assume, that the number 12991.5 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 12991.5, so we can write it down as 100%=12991.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 17184.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17184.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12991.5
2) x%=17184.2
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%=12991.5/17184.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17184.2 is what percent of 12991.5

100%/x%=12991.5/17184.2
(100/x)*x=(12991.5/17184.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.75601424564425*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.75601424564425) to get x
100/0.75601424564425=x
132.27263980295=x
x=132.27263980295

now we have:
