====================================

Answer #2:

The first answer, above, is an ambitious and detailed demonstration of

the answer and how to get it.

Unfortunately, the easy part ... the arithmetic ... is wrong.

17/335 is not 0.0507... .

It's 0.21194... .

So 71 is 21.194% (rounded) of 335 .

The writer of the first answer did exactly the same thing I did on my first try ...

keyed '17' into his calculator instead of '71'.
