The total bonus is what % of total salary.
Total salary* (x/100)= total bonus.
1710* (x/100)= 17.
x/100=17/1710.
x=(17/1710 )*100.
1%.
Total salary* (x/100)= total bonus.
1710* (x/100)= 17.
x/100=17/1710.
x=(17/1710 )*100.
1%.

Why we divided 100 means they are asking in percentage.
Percentage means 100 so that we did that?

X = salary , Y= bonus A as per percentage.
X . A percnt = y.
A percnt = y/x.
A/100= y/x .
So A =y.100/x.
X . A percnt = y.
A percnt = y/x.
A/100= y/x .
So A =y.100/x.

Because 1710=100% ,171.0=10%,17.10=1% so its near.

Bonus=3+2.52+3.84+3.68+3.96=17,
Salary=288+342+324+336+420=1710,
1710 * (X/100)=17,
X=1710/1710=1.
Salary=288+342+324+336+420=1710,
1710 * (X/100)=17,
X=1710/1710=1.

First of all, read the question and than solve it:
X is what percent of Y --> (X/Y)*100.
Explanation:
Try to sort it out from the leftmost end.
Total amount of bonus paid by the company during the given period
-->3.00+2.52+3.84+3.68+3.96 = 17.00.
Total amount of salary paid during this period
-->288+342+324+336+420 = 1710.
Now come to the right most end.
Total amount of bonus paid by the company during the given period
-->3.00+2.52+3.84+3.68+3.96 = 17.00.
Come to the middle part of the question joining the first two questions. It clarifies as 17.00 is what percent of 1710?
Problem solved:
--> (17/1710)*100 ~ 1%.
During this period means during the entire period shown in the table i.e., from 1998 to 2002.
Thankyou and keep practicing.
