In order to change something into scientific notation you have to move the decimal place enough times to get the first number to be between 1 and 9. After that, you must count how many space you moved it and that is your exponent. Moving the decimal space to the left gives you a positive exponent. Moving it to the right gives you a negative exponent.
Since Zack wants to sell his car for 60% off the current price of $500, he has to multiply 0.60 (60% in decimal form) by $500, which equals $300. Now, the next step is very important. He has to subtract $500 from $300 since $300 is the amount OFF. Once he does that, he will get $200.

You need to change 17% to decimal by moving the decimal to the right by 2x
so you will get .17*800=136
