Since you want to find out what is the percentage of this weeks sales vs. last weeks do the following:
This week = 111 /Last weeks = 92
111/92=1.206521739 *100=120.65%

I'm stupid and lazy, but I can't explain why this is so to you. It's a concept, and I lack the patience 8-( sorry I'm so lazy, really. Ask your teacher though, it's an important concept, percents. Anyways..
111/92= 1.2065217391304347826086956521739
~1.2065
1.2065=120.65%
Don't lazy out like I have, ask your teacher; he/she can probably help.

(this week) / (last week) = y percent / 100
111 / 92 = y percent / 100
Solve for y
y percent = 100 * (111 / 92)
