See below.

Explanation:

Whenever you see the word "of " in this level of mathematics, you can assume that it refers to "multiplication", or "multiplied by." So this problem is really asking you "What is #30%# multiplied by #174500# euros?"

#30%#, or #30/100#, can be written as the decimal #0.30#.

Therefore, this problem is asking (stated mathematically) "What is #0.30*174500#. The answer to that would be #52350# euros.

I hope that helps!
