1. We assume, that the number 28932.05 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 28932.05 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28932.05=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.1296% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.1296%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28932.05=100%
2) x=42.1296%
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:
28932.05/x=100%/42.1296%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
