Lenny Conundrum for 3/22/07?

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.

Can anyone figure that out? I've been asking the match teacher at my JH and THEY don't even know!
