4. We know, that x% equals 2547.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2547.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9655.74
2) x%=2547.5
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%=9655.74/2547.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2547.5 is what percent of 9655.74

(100/x)*x=(9655.74/2547.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7902806673209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7902806673209) to get x
100/3.7902806673209=x
26.383270469172=x
x=26.383270469172

now we have:
2547.5 is 26.383270469172% of 9655.74
