I'm sure Joel pays more than $25/mo for rent.  But assuming that the monthly rent actually is $25/mo, then the percentage of his $1700 monthly income that goes to rent is

  $25
--------- * 100% = 1.47% (very unlikely).
$1700

If he pays $25/mo, then the answer would be 14.71% (more realistic).

The answer to this problem is 1.47%
