percent formula : is/of = %/100

is = 17.4
% = 25
of = x

now we sub

17.4 / x = 25/100
since this is a proportion, we cross multiply
(25)(x) = (17.4)(100)
25x = 1740
x = 1740/25
x = 69.6 <=== ur answer

Since 17.4 is equivalent to 25% of a number, and if there are four 25%s to equal a 100%, all you would need to do in this problem is multiply 17.4 by 4 in which will give you the number: 69.6. And so the answer is c. 69.6
