1. We assume, that the number 1170.7654871 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 1170.7654871 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1170.7654871=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1170.7654871=100%
2) x=2.1%
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:
1170.7654871/x=100%/2.1%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
