Jamie went to the mall during the holiday season to purchase a wall painting for his mother. He liked a painting that was selling for $197.01 and which had a seasonal discount off 17% on its selling price. How much would this painting cost Jamie after the discount?

The amount of discount on the painting is 17/100*$197 = $33.49

Jamie would get the painting for $197-$33.49 = $<<197-33.49=163.51>>163.51. Answer: \boxed{163.51}.
