1 × 10 + 7 = 17. So, the fraction becomes $\frac{17}{10}$ .
Turn a Fraction into a Decimal: Divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal form. 17 ÷ 10 = 1.7.
Multiply by 100 to Get Percentage: Take the decimal value and multiply by 100.
1.7 × 100 = 170.
Add the Percentage Symbol: Conclude by appending the % sign. Our final value is: 170%
