First, follow the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), addition and subtraction (from left to right). So, calculate inside the parentheses first (which doesn't apply here since there's no operation inside the parentheses), then do the multiplication: $8 \times 27 = 216$. Then, perform the addition and subtraction in order from left to right: $17 + 216 - 22 = 233 - 22 = 211$.
