1. We assume, that the number 137070.64 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 137070.64 is 100%, so we can write it down as 137070.64=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 137070.64=100%
2) x=42.4%
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:
137070.64/x=100%/42.4%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
