"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 item?

As posted earlier, 17 is a prime number, so 1 and 17 are the only whole numbers that go into it, but 17-1 doesn't equal 12.
I can't figure it out.

17 is a prime number. The only combination of numbers is 17X1=17 but 17-1 doesn't equal 12. Therefore this riddle doesn't make sense.

one # is 13.28, the other # is 1.28
BTW, most idiots couldn't read: you wrote "...round the total to the nearest whole number..." implying that the numbers are not whole numbers.
