1. We assume, that the number 1200000 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 1200000, so we can write it down as 100%=1200000.

5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1200000
2) x%=219752.8
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%=1200000/219752.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 219752.8 is what percent of 1200000
