4. We know, that x% equals 290.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=290.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36474.06
2) x%=290.9
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%=36474.06/290.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 290.9 is what percent of 36474.06
