4. We know, that x% equals 196.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=196.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2529.83
2) x%=196.37
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%=2529.83/196.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 196.37 is what percent of 2529.83
