OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 150 and we're going to multiply it by 17, which means we add 150 to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 150 = 150
Step 2: 150 + 150 = 300
Step 3: 300 + 150 = 450
Step 4: 450 + 150 = 600
Step 5: 600 + 150 = 750
Step 6: 750 + 150 = 900
Step 7: 900 + 150 = 1050
Step 8: 1050 + 150 = 1200
Step 9: 1200 + 150 = 1350
Step 10: 1350 + 150 = 1500
Step 11: 1500 + 150 = 1650
Step 12: 1650 + 150 = 1800
Step 13: 1800 + 150 = 1950
Step 14: 1950 + 150 = 2100
Step 15: 2100 + 150 = 2250
Step 16: 2250 + 150 = 2400
Step 17: 2400 + 150 = 2550

So, 150*17 = 2550
