A Correct answer
Explanation

Following BODMAS: 348 × 15.001 ÷ 27 ≈ 348 × 15 ÷ 27 = 5220 ÷ 27 ≈ 193.33. Then 193.33 + 160 - ?³ = 125, so 353.33 - ?³ = 125, meaning ?³ ≈ 228.33. Testing options: 6³ = 216, giving 353.33 - 216 = 137.33 (close to 125 with rounding). The approximation 15.001 ≈ 15 and 348/27 ≈ 12.89 makes this work.
