Answer:

85%

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by dividing the number of cured cases by the total number of cases (17/20). In order to verify this you can see what number 20 can be multiplied in order to get 100 (5). You can then multiply this by 17 in order to get the number of cured cases out of 100 (the definition of percent)
