4. We know, that x% equals 1309.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1309.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23504.74
2) x%=1309.5
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%=23504.74/1309.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1309.5 is what percent of 23504.74
