4. We know, that x% equals 404.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=404.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2963.73
2) x%=404.47
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%=2963.73/404.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 404.47 is what percent of 2963.73
