We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. If 100% equals to 170, so we can write it down as 100%=170 we know that x% equals 63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=63. Now we have two simple equations: 100%=170 x%=63 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%=170/63 Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for. Which equals x=37.0588235294 So if we rounded that it would be 37.
