4. We know, that x% equals 819.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=819.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1071.92
2) x%=819.73
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%=1071.92/819.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 819.73 is what percent of 1071.92
