4. We know, that x% equals 525.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=525.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23031.02
2) x%=525.43
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%=23031.02/525.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 525.43 is what percent of 23031.02
