4. We know, that x% equals 248.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=248.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16322.13
2) x%=248.31
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%=16322.13/248.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 248.31 is what percent of 16322.13
