Well, as we are going to work with percentage, there are two ways to do this. Percentage is a ratio of a number by 100. Since it's a ratio with the number 100, I can divide the percentage value I want to know by 100 and then I multiply it by the value where I want to know the percentage. Another way would be using rule of 3, I'll do it both ways, it will generate the same result.
[tex]\begin{gathered}\frac{2}{100}=0,02\\ 0,02*17.000=340\end{gathered}[/tex]
Now let's do it with the rule of 3.
[tex]\dfrac{17.000}{x} \large \text{$\searrow\!\!\!\!\!\!\nearrow\!\!\!\!\!$}\normalsize= \dfrac{100}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{gathered}100x=17.000*2\\100x=34.000\\x=\frac{34.000}{100}=340\end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the 2% of $17,000 are 340.
