Answer: 884
Explanation: Set up your equation as you read through the problem.
Also, remember that percent means over 100.
What means x, is means equals, 170% means
170/100, of means times, and 60 means 60.
Simplifying on the right side of the equation,
we can reduce 170/100 to 17/10.
So we have x = 17/10 · 520.
Put 520 over 1 then cross-cancel 520 and 10 to 52 and 1.
So our answer is 17 · 52 or 884
