Correct Answer :

Option B

200

Solution :

The correct option is 200.

We are given the following expression to approximate:

62.5% of 799.84=6300.24÷6.98-(?×2.01)

To find the approximate value of the question mark (?), we round each number in the expression to its nearest convenient value:

1. Convert 62.5% into a fraction:

62.5%=62.5100=58

2. Round 799.84 to 800.
Now evaluate the left side of the equation:

58×800=500

3. Round 6300.24 to 6300 and 6.98 to 7.
Now perform the division:

6300÷7=900

4. Round 2.01 to 2.

Substitute these values back into the expression:

500=900-(?×2)

Rearrange the equation to solve for ?:

?×2=900-500

?×2=400

?=4002=200

Thus, the approximate value that should replace the question mark (?) is 200.
