1. We assume, that the number 119791.51 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 119791.51 is 100%, so we can write it down as 119791.51=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.29% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.29%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 119791.51=100%
2) x=14.29%
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:
119791.51/x=100%/14.29%
