$170$

You need to multiply the three values together:

$25xx1.7xx4$

The order in which you multiply is not important and you can re-arrange the order of the given numbers,

The following will make it much easier:

$color(blue)(25xx4) xx1.7$

$=color(blue)(100) xx1.7$

TO multiply by $100$ just move the decimal point 2 places to the right.

$=170$
