4. We know, that x% equals 291.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=291.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2095.63
2) x%=291.79
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%=2095.63/291.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 291.79 is what percent of 2095.63
