While exploring through the trading post, you find someone offering a Ghostkerbomb. When you ask what she wants for it, this is her reply:
"Suppose you have two numbers. The difference of the two numbers is 12. The product of the two numbers is 17. Multiply the larger of the two numbers by 100, add 50 times the smaller number to that, round the total to the nearest whole number, and that's my price."
How much does she want for the Ghostkerbomb?

x = 14.5
y = 2.5
100x+50y = 1450 + 125 = 1575

Its not for sale. 17 is a prime number, no two numbers have a product of 17

FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!!! Don't cheat on the Lenny Conundrums! Also, if the answer is posted here, more people will get it, making the prize not even worth it.

Find the answer it yourself, break the riddle apart and work at it part by part. Then you will find the answer.
If I just tell you the answer, I get less neopoints... and it I tell you, it just takes the fun of it away >_<

x+y=17
x-y=12
Substitute for x or y then solve from there... And I think you mean sum instead of product
