To get the result we can use proportion

85 -------------------- 170%           it means 85 its 170%
x------------------------100%          it means that x (cuz we dont know how much) its 100%
Now cross multiply it.
170%*x=85*100%      /:170      (divide both sides by 170)
x=8500:170
x=50   - its our result
