4. We know, that x% equals 235.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=235.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5070.87
2) x%=235.46
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%=5070.87/235.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 235.46 is what percent of 5070.87
