1. We assume, that the number 270625567 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 270625567 is 100%, so we can write it down as 270625567=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 270625567=100%
2) x=4.2%
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:
270625567/x=100%/4.2%
