What approximate value should come in the place of the question mark (?) in the following question? (You are not expected to calculate the exact value) (51.84 × 5.96) ÷ 12.82 = 9.81 + ?% of 199.77
What approximate value should come in the place of the question mark (?) in the following question? (You are not expected to calculate the exact value) (51.84 × 5.96) ÷ 12.82 = 9.81 + ?% of 199.77 Correct Answer 7
Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,
Step-1- Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved first, and in the bracket,
Step-2- Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next,
Step-3- Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are calculated,
Step-4- Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contain 'Addition' and 'Subtraction' should be calculated.
Given expression is,
⇒ (51.84 × 5.96) ÷ 12.82 = 9.81 + ?% of 199.77
We can write the given values as:
⇒ 51.84 ≈ 52 and 5.96 ≈ 6 and 12.82 ≈ 13
⇒ 9.81 ≈ 10 and 199.77 ≈ 200
Then,
⇒ (52 × 6) ÷ 13 = 10 + (?/100) × 200
⇒ 312 ÷ 13 = 10 + (?/100) × 200
⇒ 24 = 10 + (?/100) × 200
⇒ 24 = 10 + (? × 2)
⇒ 24 - 10 = ? × 2
⇒ ? × 2 = 14
⇒ ? = 14/2
∴ ? ≈ 7
