1. We assume, that the number 1266624.36 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 1266624.36 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1266624.36=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.12% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.12%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1266624.36=100%
2) x=17.12%
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:
1266624.36/x=100%/17.12%
