Default the greater of 2 numbers

I am working on an excel spreadsheet. I am in cell C20. I want to tell IT
to look at C5 and C17, determine the greater of the 2 numbers and enter the
greater one in that cell(C20). Can anyone help me with an easy formula? I
certainly would appreciate it.

thank you. from there I was able to figure out my other question by coming
up with =min(2.5%*c17,30.00). thanks for such a simple fix.
