4. We know, that x% equals 62.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=62.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14316.08
2) x%=62.15
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%=14316.08/62.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 62.15 is what percent of 14316.08
