Correct Answer :

Option D

559

Solution :

The correct answer is 559.

Given equation:

( ? + 461.19 ) + 150.08 % of ( 5999.92 299.98 ) = 29.89 × 34.92

Approximating the terms in the equation to their nearest whole numbers:
461.19 ≈ 461
150.08% ≈ 150%
5999.92 ≈ 6000
299.98 ≈ 300
29.89 ≈ 30
34.92 ≈ 35

Substitute these approximate values into the equation:

( ? + 461 ) + 150 % of ( 6000 300 ) = 30 × 35

First, simplify the fraction inside the bracket:

6000 300 = 20

Next, calculate 150% of 20:

150 % of 20 = 150 100 × 20 = 1.5 × 20 = 30

Now, calculate the right-hand side of the equation:

30 × 35 = 1050

Substitute all the calculated values back into the simplified equation:

( ? + 461 ) + 30 = 1050

Simplify the left-hand side:

? + 491 = 1050

Solve for the missing value (?):

? = 1050 - 491

? = 559

Hence, the approximate value that should come in place of the question mark is 559.
