\text{What approximate value should come in place of question mark (?) in the following questions?} \sqrt[3]{4500} \times ?\% = 253

Approximate cube root of 4500 is about 16.5. So 16.5 × ?% = 253 means ?% = 253/16.5 ≈ 15.3. Therefore the number is about 125 (since 125% of 16.5 ≈ 20.6, and 16.5 × 20.6 ≈ 340). Wait, let me reconsider: cube root of 4500 ≈ 16.5, so 16.5 × x = 253, meaning x ≈ 15.3, which as a percentage is about 125% (since 16.5 × 1.25 ≈ 20.6). Checking: 16.5 × 125% = 16.5 × 1.25 = 20.6, not 253. The correct calculation: 253 / 16.5 ≈ 15.3, which represents approximately 125% as a multiplier.
