Correct Answer :

Option C

210

Solution :

To find the value that comes in place of the question mark (?), we can set up the equation based on the given problem statement and solve it step-by-step.

The given equation is:

30% of 500+320=260+?

First, let's calculate the value of "30% of 500". Recall that "percentage of" means multiplying the percentage value by the number:

30% of 500=30100×500

Simplifying this calculation:

30% of 500=30×5=150

Now, substitute this value back into the original equation:

150+320=260+?

Next, add the numbers on the left-hand side of the equation:

150+320=470

This gives us the simplified equation:

470=260+?

To isolate the question mark (?), subtract 260 from both sides of the equation:

?=470-260

?=210

Therefore, the value that should replace the question mark is 210.
