4. We know, that x% equals 114.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=114.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27229.01
2) x%=114.8
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%=27229.01/114.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 114.8 is what percent of 27229.01
