1. We assume, that the number 123094876 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 123094876 is 100%, so we can write it down as 123094876=100%.
4. We know, that x is 98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 123094876=100%
2) x=98%
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:
123094876/x=100%/98%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
