First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage.

(17)/(25) =
(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!
