1. We assume, that the number 159.5 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 159.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 159.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 79.728317659352% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=79.728317659352%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 159.5=100%
