We can solve this using the algebra guidelines below
We know that 24874/17 is some value,

24874/17 = n

And we know that some unknown number divided by 17 should equal that number plus 100.

a/17 = n + 100

All we have to do is solve for a.

a = 17n + 1700
a = 17(24874/17) + 1700
a = 24874 + 1700
a = 26574
