1. **State the problem:** We need to find how long the new computer will take to load a document containing 2 graphics and 1 paragraph, given that the new computer loads 17% faster than the old one.
2. **Identify the old computer's loading times:**
- One graphic takes 22 seconds.
- One paragraph takes 9 seconds.
3. **Calculate total loading time on the old computer:**
$$\text{Total old time} = 2 \times 22 + 1 \times 9 = 44 + 9 = 53 \text{ seconds}$$
4. **Understand what "17% faster" means:**
If the new computer is 17% faster, it means it takes 17% less time to load the same content.
5. **Calculate the new computer's loading time:**
$$\text{New time} = \text{Old time} \times (1 - 0.17) = 53 \times 0.83 = 43.99 \text{ seconds}$$
6. **Final answer:** The new computer will take approximately **43.99 seconds** to load the document.
