Find distance from Earth using Hubble's Laws.?

Hi the problem i'm currently working on is as follows: A galaxy is found to have a relative velocity of 0.97 C. What is the most likely distance from Earth using Hubble's Laws? (Ho = 70 km/sec/Mpc).
I'm having trouble with this problem because i do not know what the C means for velocity, and does it matter if the velocity is "relative" when using Hubble's Laws for solving this problem? Thanks!
