4. We know, that x% equals 2898.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2898.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3584.37
2) x%=2898.5
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%=3584.37/2898.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2898.5 is what percent of 3584.37
