These problems take some tial and error, but play with the number in your calculator.
11 (170) 16, 11(203) 19, then value of 17(?) 18
11 x 16 = 176 and 11 x 19 = 209
Looking at these answers what do you notice? the answers are both 6 more than the number inside ( ).
so for 17 ( ) 18 , 17 x 18 = 306,but this is 6 more than the number we are looking for. This gives us,
17 (300) 18
