4. We know, that x% equals 469.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=469.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16689.63
2) x%=469.4
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%=16689.63/469.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 469.4 is what percent of 16689.63
