K it is comparison between bonus and salary in all years.

Let,
Total bonus = x% of salary.
=> 17 = 1710 (x%).
=>17 = 1710 (x/100).
Now solving for x,
x = 1700/1710 = 0.99 = 1% (approximately).
Total bonus = x% of salary.
=> 17 = 1710 (x%).
=>17 = 1710 (x/100).
Now solving for x,
x = 1700/1710 = 0.99 = 1% (approximately).

But why there is multiply by 100?

Total bonus equal to total salary.
I.e Salary given in hundreds but bonus is actual that's why we can multiply 100.

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.

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.
