4. We know, that x% equals 643.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=643.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3691.05
2) x%=643.23
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%=3691.05/643.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 643.23 is what percent of 3691.05
