Ok first you need to take 17 and turn that into a decimal which would be .17 because it is a percentage of 100.
Next you need to multiply .17 and 200.
Then you will get your answer 34.
YOU CAN CHECK YOUR WORK BY DIVIDING 34 BY .17

1.) You start with the number you need to divide by which is 17.
2.) You then divide that with the number given which is 200
3.) You leave the % out until after.
4.) 17/200=?%
5.)0.85=%
6.) Move your decimal value to get a whole number
7.)8.5%

17 is (8.5%) of 200.
