Question

What percent of 25 is 17? Please show work, thank you.

Answer 1

First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage. 
$\frac{17}{25}$ = $\frac{x}{100}$

Next, you would cross multiply. 
25x = 1,700

Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 25. 
x = 68%

17 is 68% of 25. 

I hope this helps!
