4. We know, that x% equals 339.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=339.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4240.73
2) x%=339.26
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%=4240.73/339.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 339.26 is what percent of 4240.73
