1. We assume, that the number 118.733 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 118.733 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118.733=100%.
4. We know, that x is 86.543% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=86.543%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118.733=100%
2) x=86.543%
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:
118.733/x=100%/86.543%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
