4. We know, that x% equals 1249.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1249.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6756.14
2) x%=1249.7
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%=6756.14/1249.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1249.7 is what percent of 6756.14
