Well.. I’m not sure if I get this question right…

If you lost 1/3 of them, then you’re left with 2/3, meaning 34 dots = 2/3. So before that you have 34 x 3/2 = 51 dots. Minus the given 17 dots, you had 34 dots in the beginning.

68 dots including 17 dots, so i guess that’s 51 dots!

(X+17)*2/3=34

X=34*3/2-17

X=51-17=34
