1. We assume, that the number 123.247 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 123.247, so we can write it down as 100%=123.247.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.053 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.053.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=123.247
2) x%=79.053
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%=123.247/79.053
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.053 is what percent of 123.247
