4. We know, that x% equals 410.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=410.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5068.87
2) x%=410.39
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%=5068.87/410.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 410.39 is what percent of 5068.87
