A Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate 21.7% of 514.9 ≈ 111.73. Then 111.73 - 43.44 = 68.29. The expression (68.29) ÷ 5.5 = 12.4. But this doesn't match any option. Alternatively, reading '?' as the variable: (21.7% of 514.9 - 43.44) = ? ÷ 5.5 means ? = (111.73 - 43.44) × 5.5 = 374.6. Option A (385) is closest to this approximate calculation.
