4. We know, that x% equals 881.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=881.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16666.67
2) x%=881.3
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%=16666.67/881.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 881.3 is what percent of 16666.67
