Solution :

To find the approximate value of x in the given equation, we can round the numbers to their nearest integers to simplify the calculations.

The given equation is:
779.23 13 + 4.98 + 23 = x %  of  60.03

Let's approximate each decimal term:
- 779.23 can be approximated to 780 because 780 is a multiple of 13 (13×60=780).
- 4.98 can be approximated to 5.
- 60.03 can be approximated to 60.

Now, substituting these approximate values back into the equation:
780 13 + 5 + 23 x %  of  60

First, calculate the division term:
780 13 = 60

Now rewrite the left side of the equation:
60 + 5 + 23 = 88

This simplifies our equation to:
88 x 100 × 60

Solve for x:
88 x × 0.6
x 88 0.6
x 880 6
x 146.67

Rounding 146.67 to the nearest integer gives 147.

Therefore, the approximate value that comes in place of 'x' is 147.
