1. We assume, that the number 16781.39 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 16781.39 is 100%, so we can write it down as 16781.39=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 16781.39=100%
2) x=7.875%
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:
16781.39/x=100%/7.875%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
