4. We know, that x% equals 691.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=691.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2909.81
2) x%=691.46
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%=2909.81/691.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 691.46 is what percent of 2909.81
