Cent means 100, so you're looking at two places after the decimal for the two zeros in 100.
That means you look at the third number after the decimal to decide whether you round up or stay at the current number. Your number is 17.4994 so you're looking at the 9. Is 9 greater than 5 (halfway to the next 10 place)? Yes, so you'll round the .49 up to .50 and have 17.50
