4. We know, that x% equals 368.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=368.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2262.55
2) x%=368.73
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%=2262.55/368.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 368.73 is what percent of 2262.55
