1. We assume, that the number 2.346 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 2.346 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.346=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.71428571429% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.71428571429%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.346=100%
