Respuesta :

To solve this problem, we have to determine the percentage that 340 represents from 1700. Now, to calculate the percentage that x represents from y, we can use the following expression:

[tex]\frac{x}{y}*100.[/tex]

Substituting x=340, and y=1700 in the above expression, we get:

[tex]\frac{340}{1700}*100.[/tex]

Simplifying the above result, we get:

[tex]20\%.[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]20\%.[/tex]
