To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 27417 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 100% equals 27417, so we can write it down as 100%=27417.
4. We know, that x% equals 132.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=132.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27417
2) x%=132.98
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:
100%/x%=27417/132.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 132.98 is what percent of 27417

100%/x%=27417/132.98
(100/x)*x=(27417/132.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=206.17386073094*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (206.17386073094) to get x
100/206.17386073094=x
0.48502753765912=x
x=0.48502753765912

now we have:
