The first thing to note when tackling this question is that percent means that number out of 100. Thus 10% can be written as 10/100. The next thing to note is that "of" in mathematics means "multiplied by." For example "5 groups of 4" means 5x4. Thus the question can be rewritten as 10/100 x 170.000 which comes out to 17. Therefore 10% of 170.000 is 17.
