4. We know, that x% equals 242.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=242.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2237.35
2) x%=242.74
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%=2237.35/242.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 242.74 is what percent of 2237.35
