4. We know, that x% equals 540.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=540.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38131.11
2) x%=540.17
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%=38131.11/540.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 540.17 is what percent of 38131.11
