4. We know, that x% equals 1640.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1640.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2109.38
2) x%=1640.62
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%=2109.38/1640.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1640.62 is what percent of 2109.38
