Converting AC Watts to DC Amps

The reasoning is that, say, the inverter draws 10 amps at 12 v = 120 watts. But if you take off some (20/120 or about 16%) for losses in the inverter, you get only get 100 watts of AC out. So for ease in doing the math just say DC amps (at 12v) = AC watts (at 120v) divided by 10.
