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 it?

y - x = 12 ==> y = 12 + x
x*y = 17 == x(12+x) = 17 ==> x^2 + 12x - 17 = 0
x= 1.28 , y = 13.28
y*100 + 50x = ? = 1392

I think the nos. are 13.28 and 1.28.
13.28 * 100 = 1328
1.28 * 50 = 64
add the two 1392
