    To solve this problem lets assume, that the number 60 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. If 100% equals 60, so we can write it down as 100%=60. We know, that x% equals 120 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=120. Now we have two simple equations:

    1) 100%=60

    2) x%=120

    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%=60/120.

    Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

    Solution for 120 is what percent of 60

    100%/x%=60/120

    (100/x) * x = (60/120) * x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

    100=0.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.5) to get x

    100/0.5=x

    200=x

    x=200

    now we have:

    120 is 200% of 60
