Multiple choice

What approximate value should come at place of question mark (?) in the following question? (480\times25 - 8\times180 = ? + 32.54)

  1. $11200$
  2. $11400$
  3. $10800$
  4. $10500$
  5. $10400$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate: 480 x 25 = 12000. Then 8 x 180 = 1440. So 12000 - 1440 = 10560. Then 10560 - 32.54 = 10527.46, which is approximately 10500. Option D (10500) is correct as the question asks for the approximate value. This tests order of operations and ability to work with approximations involving decimals.
