4. We know, that x% equals 957.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=957.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1292.91
2) x%=957.98
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%=1292.91/957.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 957.98 is what percent of 1292.91
