4. We know, that x% equals 847.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=847.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1816.31
2) x%=847.61
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%=1816.31/847.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 847.61 is what percent of 1816.31
