We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.

Answer: The discount is $30, making the sale price $270.
Step-by-step explanation: Take your initial value times the percent of your discount to find the discount amount: in this case, it is 300 * .10 = 30. Then you can subtract that value from your initial value, 300-30=270 to get the sale price.
move the decimal to the left 6 times and you'll get .028578
