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
