First divide 17 by 25 to get the decimal
17/25 = 0.63
Multiply 100 times the decimal and attach the % symbol
100 x 0.68 = 68%
68% is the answer

17 divided by 25 = 68%. move the decimal 2 places to the right for percent. A tip-- look at the problem, notice that 17 is less that 25. and is a healthy portion of it. Your answer should make sense.

17/25 = %/100
It's a proportion. Pretend that the percent sign (%) is a variable and cross multiply (25 x % = 17 x 100). Divide by 25 on both sides to get the percent. Basically, % = (17 x 100)/25

By putting 25 into 17 you come up with .68 and then multiply by 100 and you come up with 68%

yes, you can convert the fraction into percentage.
actual step: 17/25 x 100 = 68
because 25 is the whole in your case and 100 is the whole for %. you must change the 25 into 100. so below is the simplified and easy-to-understand steps...
1st step: 100 divide by 25 = 4 , change the denominator to 100
2nd step:17 multiply by 4 = 68 , denominator multiply by 4 so numerator also must multiply by 4.
and so the answer is : 68
and so you CAN convert.

17/25 x 4/4 = 68/100
68/100 = 0.68
0.68 x 100 = 68
Answer = 68%

Since 25 * 4 = 100, i am going to convert the denominator to 100 so that it is easier to solve.
17/25 = 68/100
68/100 * 100% = 68% (Answer)
[OR] this is the usual way to solve but needs a lot more brain-cracking.
17/25 * 100% = 68% [Answer]

yes, if you type it in a calculator you get .68. multiply that by 100 to make it a percent.
or if you are trying to do it in your head just do 100/25 = 4 and 4 * 17 = 68.
