  2. 390
  3. 400
  4. 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 = ?

  1. 635
  2. 620
  3. 650
  4. 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.

  1. 729
  2. 735
  3. 720
  4. 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.

  3. 395
  4. 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.
