4. We know, that x% equals 128.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=128.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23697.5
2) x%=128.79
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%=23697.5/128.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 128.79 is what percent of 23697.5

(100/x)*x=(23697.5/128.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=184.00108704092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (184.00108704092) to get x
100/184.00108704092=x
0.54347505011077=x
x=0.54347505011077

now we have:
