4. We know, that x% equals 43.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300874.63
2) x%=43.5
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%=300874.63/43.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
