4. We know, that x% equals 1197.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1197.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5375.7
2) x%=1197.17
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%=5375.7/1197.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1197.17 is what percent of 5375.7
