Answer:

77.2727.. (repeating)%

or 77 3/11 %

Although im not sure if fractions are accepted in percents, so stick to the first option

Explanation:

A percent is simply
\frac{}{100}

How many 22's are there in 100? 100/22=4.54 repeating

So 22*4.54 repeating = 100

do the same to both sides of the equation

17 / 22

17*4.54 repeating

77.27272.../100

so 77.27272727... %
