Q1.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
34.98% of 400.15 + 24.89 * 10.05 = ?
380
390
400
375
Show answer
Answer: B. 390
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers or convenient values:
34.98% of 400.15 becomes 35% of 400
24.89 * 10.05 becomes 25 * 10
Now, calculate:
35% of 400 = (35/100) * 400 = 35 * 4 = 140
25 * 10 = 250
Add the results:
140 + 250 = 390
So, the approximate value is 390.
Q2.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
(899.9 / 29.9) * 14.01 = ?
400
450
420
410
Show answer
Answer: C. 420
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers:
899.9 becomes 900
29.9 becomes 30
14.01 becomes 14
Now, calculate:
(900 / 30) * 14
First, perform the division:
900 / 30 = 30
Then, perform the multiplication:
30 * 14 = 420
So, the approximate value is 420.
Q3.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
15.01 * 24.98 + 12.99 * 19.99 = ?
635
620
650
640
Show answer
Answer: A. 635
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers:
15.01 becomes 15
24.98 becomes 25
12.99 becomes 13
19.99 becomes 20
Now, calculate:
15 * 25 + 13 * 20
First, perform the multiplications:
15 * 25 = 375
13 * 20 = 260
Then, add the results:
375 + 260 = 635
So, the approximate value is 635.
Q4.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
(17.89)^2 + (21.01)^2 - sqrt(1295.9) = ?
729
735
720
740
Show answer
Answer: A. 729
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers or perfect squares/roots:
17.89 becomes 18
21.01 becomes 21
sqrt(1295.9) becomes sqrt(1296) (since 36^2 = 1296)
Now, calculate:
18^2 + 21^2 - sqrt(1296)
First, calculate the squares and square root:
18^2 = 324
21^2 = 441
sqrt(1296) = 36
Substitute these values back into the equation:
324 + 441 - 36
Perform addition:
324 + 441 = 765
Perform subtraction:
765 - 36 = 729
So, the approximate value is 729.
Q5.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
59.98% of 650.05 - 29.99% of 350.01 + 14.99 * 8.01 = ?
405
410
395
400
Show answer
Answer: A. 405
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers or convenient values:
59.98% of 650.05 becomes 60% of 650
29.99% of 350.01 becomes 30% of 350
14.99 * 8.01 becomes 15 * 8
Now, calculate:
60% of 650 = (60/100) * 650 = 6 * 65 = 390
30% of 350 = (30/100) * 350 = 3 * 35 = 105
15 * 8 = 120
Substitute these values back into the equation:
390 - 105 + 120
Perform subtraction:
390 - 105 = 285
Perform addition:
285 + 120 = 405
So, the approximate value is 405.
Q6.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
(124.99 * 15.98) / 7.99 + 249.99 = ?
500
480
520
490
Show answer
Answer: A. 500
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers:
124.99 becomes 125
15.98 becomes 16
7.99 becomes 8
249.99 becomes 250
Now, calculate:
(125 * 16) / 8 + 250
First, perform the multiplication inside the parenthesis:
125 * 16 = 2000
Then, perform the division:
2000 / 8 = 250
Finally, perform the addition:
250 + 250 = 500
So, the approximate value is 500.
Q7.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
(21.01)^2 - (13.99)^2 + sqrt(289.01) * 3.99 = ?
300
313
320
310
Show answer
Answer: B. 313
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers or perfect squares/roots:
21.01 becomes 21
13.99 becomes 14
sqrt(289.01) becomes sqrt(289) (since 17^2 = 289)
3.99 becomes 4
Now, calculate:
21^2 - 14^2 + sqrt(289) * 4
First, calculate the squares and square root:
21^2 = 441
14^2 = 196
sqrt(289) = 17
Substitute these values back into the equation:
441 - 196 + 17 * 4
Perform multiplication:
17 * 4 = 68
Now, the expression is:
441 - 196 + 68
Perform subtraction:
441 - 196 = 245
Perform addition:
245 + 68 = 313
So, the approximate value is 313.
Q8.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
34.99% of 499.99 + cbrt(728.99) * 19.99 = ?
355
360
340
350
Show answer
Answer: A. 355
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers or convenient values:
34.99% of 499.99 becomes 35% of 500
cbrt(728.99) becomes cbrt(729) (since 9^3 = 729)
19.99 becomes 20
Now, calculate:
35% of 500 = (35/100) * 500 = 35 * 5 = 175
cbrt(729) = 9
9 * 20 = 180
Substitute these values back into the equation:
175 + 180 = 355
So, the approximate value is 355.
Q9.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
(4.98)^3 + (19.99)^2 - (7.01)^3 + (11.01)^2 = ?
295
300
310
303
Show answer
Answer: D. 303
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers:
4.98 becomes 5
19.99 becomes 20
7.01 becomes 7
11.01 becomes 11
Now, calculate:
5^3 + 20^2 - 7^3 + 11^2
First, calculate the powers:
5^3 = 125
20^2 = 400
7^3 = 343
11^2 = 121
Substitute these values back into the equation:
125 + 400 - 343 + 121
Perform additions and subtractions from left to right:
125 + 400 = 525
525 - 343 = 182
182 + 121 = 303
So, the approximate value is 303.
Q10.
What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
(149.99 / 5.01) * (24.98 / 1.99) + 29.98% of 500.01 = ?
520
525
530
515
Show answer
Answer: B. 525
To approximate the value, we round the numbers to their nearest integers or convenient values:
149.99 becomes 150
5.01 becomes 5
24.98 becomes 25
1.99 becomes 2
29.98% of 500.01 becomes 30% of 500
Now, calculate:
(150 / 5) * (25 / 2) + 30% of 500
First, perform the divisions:
150 / 5 = 30
25 / 2 = 12.5
Then, perform the multiplication:
30 * 12.5 = 375
Calculate the percentage:
30% of 500 = (30/100) * 500 = 30 * 5 = 150
Finally, perform the addition:
375 + 150 = 525
So, the approximate value is 525.
