Explanation

To find 22.05% of 249.99, we can approximate: 22.05% ≈ 22% and 249.99 ≈ 250. Then 22% of 250 = 0.22 × 250 = 55. For a more precise calculation: 0.2205 × 249.99 ≈ 55.12. Among the options, 55 is the closest. The other options (46, 65, 12) are too far from the calculated value to be reasonable approximations.
