While exploring through the flee market, you find someone offering a toaster. 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 toaster?

Did you mean 17? You can only do 17X1.
So...$17.50 or $1,750
