Solution :

To find the approximate value of x, we can round the decimal numbers in the given equation to their nearest convenient integers:

- 39.98% can be rounded to 40%
- 249.99 can be rounded to 250
- 196.04 can be rounded to 196, which is equal to 14
- 55.93 can be rounded to 56

Now, substitute these approximated values back into the original equation:

40 % of 250 + 14 = x 2 + 56

First, calculate the percentage term:

40 % of 250 = 40 100 × 250 = 100

Substitute this value back into the equation:

100 + 14 = x 2 + 56

114 = x 2 + 56

Isolate the variable term x2 by subtracting 56 from both sides:

x 2 = 114 - 56

x 2 = 58

Take the square root of both sides to find x:

x = 58

Since 72=49 and 82=64, the value of 58 is approximately 7.61, which is closest to the integer 8.

Therefore, the approximate value that comes in place of 'x' is 8.
