4. We know, that x% equals 4270.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4270.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5329.75
2) x%=4270.5
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%=5329.75/4270.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4270.5 is what percent of 5329.75
