To find the x% of y, we need to follow the following rule -
 
y*x/100
 
That is, you need to multiply x and y, and divide it by 100.
 
In your sum, x=17, and y=1288
 
Still, if you fail to solve it, you are free to write your apprehensions here. 
 
I hope, my advice will help you.

Hi,
 
17% means 0.17 so calculate 0.17*1288=218.96 
 
The total amount of 17% out of 1,288 is 218.96
