Answer:
part: 17 players = 1/4
whole: 68 players in all
percent: 17 players = 25%
Explanation:
We'll use p as a variable for the total players, alright?
So, 25% of p usually gets called back.
This season, 17 is 25% of p OR you might say 17 = 1/4 of p
in other words, p/4 = 17
multiply each side by 4 (to get the variable alone)
p = 17 * 4
p = 68
______________
part/whole = percent/100
SUBSTITUTE!
17/68 = 25%
check!
(simplify) 1/4 = 25% true!
