First sort the numbers into ascending order (from least to greatest):
17,21,22,22,26,30,38,59,67,85

To find the median, count off about 5 spaces (just take half of the size of the list, which is 10) from the beginning of the list until you hit the middle. Now count count off about 5 spaces from the end of the list until you hit the middle.
17, 21, 22, 22, , , 38, 59, 67, 85
Since the middle is in between the numbers 26 and 30, add them up and divide that sum by 2.

So the median is 28
