    3 significant figures

    Explanation:

    23.523 has 5 significant figures that is the figures 2,3,5,2,3

    17.5 has 3 significant figures that is the figures 1,7,5

    Density is mass/volume (given in question)

    Density is 23.523g/17.5L = 1.34417142857143 g/L (Without rounding off the answer)

    This has 15 significant figures

    However, for precision, the result is 1.34 g/L which has 3 significant figures.
