4. We know, that x% equals 339.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=339.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6088.52
2) x%=339.25
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%=6088.52/339.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 339.25 is what percent of 6088.52
