17
17% of 200 = 34. (If you mean that an increase of 200 represents 17% then you started with 1176.5)
Some say the answer is 11, others say 17. There are multiple ways to work it out. This justifies 11: 2 -> 3 is an (odd) increase of 1. 6 -> 8 is an (even) increase of 2. 3 -> 6 is an (odd) increase of 3. 8 -> 12 is an (even) increase of 4. 6 -> 11 is an (odd) increase of 5. But that is just one of the justifications.
Percent means "out of 100" → 8 % of 17 = 8/100 x 17 = 1.36
100*(16-8)/8 = 100% increase
