Understanding a simple circuit

Determine the equivalent resistance $R_T$ of the circuit below. Make sure to include a magnitude and unit in your answer.

The input variables are provided below:

import numpy as np

VT = 123
R1 = 170
R2 = 100
R3 = 85

from sympy import *

VT = 123
R1 = 170
R2 = 100
R3 = 85

$R_T = $
