4. We know, that x% equals 839.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=839.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1429.52
2) x%=839.14
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%=1429.52/839.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 839.14 is what percent of 1429.52
