4. We know, that x% equals 105.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=105.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=42583.32
2) x%=105.4
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%=42583.32/105.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 105.4 is what percent of 42583.32
