Answer: 850 words, correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 300 words = 6minutes

Missing number of words = 17minutes

Let the missing number be x

300= 6minutes

x = 17minutes

Step 2: Cross multiply

6x = 300 × 17

6x = 5100

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x

x = 5100/6

x = 850

Therefore, 850 words will be typed in 17minutes
