Answer:

34

Explanation:

17% is equivalent to 0.17

Percents can be converted to a decimal through dividing by 100 and adding a decimal point.

To find a percent of a number, you can multiply to find that portion.

0.17 * 200 = 34

Your answer is 34.

An alternative method for mental math is knowing that percents are a ratio on the scale of 1.00 or 100%.

Because 200 is twice of 100, you can multiply the 17 by 2 to find the same thing of 34.

17% of 200 = 34% of 100 = 34

17 percent of 200 is 17 percent. Not sure what the exact question is asking, as 34 could be a percent of 100 or 34 as it is.
