1. We assume, that the number 9935 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 9935, so we can write it down as 100%=9935.
4. We know, that x% equals 239.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=239.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9935
2) x%=239.89
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%=9935/239.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 239.89 is what percent of 9935

100%/x%=9935/239.89
(100/x)*x=(9935/239.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=41.414815123598*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.414815123598) to get x
100/41.414815123598=x
2.4145948666331=x
x=2.4145948666331

now we have:
