1. We assume, that the number 131040 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 131040, so we can write it down as 100%=131040.
4. We know, that x% equals 853.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=853.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=131040
2) x%=853.18
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%=131040/853.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 853.18 is what percent of 131040
