5

0.

2. Solution Steps

We need to find $x$ such that $17 = x\% \times 50$.

We can rewrite the percentage as a decimal by dividing by 100, so $x\% = \frac{x}{100}$.

Thus, $17 = \frac{x}{100} \times 50$.

To solve for $x$, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 100:

$17 \times 100 = x \times 50$

$1700 = 50x$

Now, divide both sides by 50:

$x = \frac{1700}{50}$

$x = \frac{170}{5}$

$x = 34$

So, 17 is 34% of

5

0.
