E Correct answer
Explanation

First approximate: 1802 ÷ 78 ≈ 1800 ÷ 78 = 23.08. Then multiply: 23.08 × 116.05 ≈ 23 × 116 = 2668. Since we rounded 1802 down to 1800 and 78 stayed the same, the actual quotient is slightly higher than 23. Multiplying 23.1 × 116 gives approximately 2679.6. Among the options, 2680 is the closest approximation.
