Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 950 and we're going to multiply it by 17, essentially adding 950 to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 950 = 950
Step 2: 950 + 950 = 1900
Step 3: 1900 + 950 = 2850
Step 4: 2850 + 950 = 3800
Step 5: 3800 + 950 = 4750
Step 6: 4750 + 950 = 5700
Step 7: 5700 + 950 = 6650
Step 8: 6650 + 950 = 7600
Step 9: 7600 + 950 = 8550
Step 10: 8550 + 950 = 9500
Step 11: 9500 + 950 = 10450
Step 12: 10450 + 950 = 11400
Step 13: 11400 + 950 = 12350
Step 14: 12350 + 950 = 13300
Step 15: 13300 + 950 = 14250
Step 16: 14250 + 950 = 15200
Step 17: 15200 + 950 = 16150

So, 950*17 = 16150
