D Correct answer
Explanation

Following BODMAS: 5555 ÷ 42 × 361 + 64.5 = ?. 5555 ÷ 42 ≈ 132.26. 132.26 × 361 ≈ 47,745.86. Adding 64.5 gives approximately 47,810.36. Option D (47811) is the closest match. The calculation requires careful order of operations and approximation. Division first, then multiplication, then addition. The slight discrepancy is due to rounding during intermediate steps.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Approximate 25.1% as 25%, 5902 as 5900, 55.96 as 56, 3.82 as 4, 20 as 20. Calculate: 0.25 × 5900 = 1475. Then 1475 = ? × 56/4 × 20 = ? × 14 × 20 = ? × 280. So ? = 1475/280 ≈ 5.27, closest to 5. The answer 5 is correct.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Using approximation: 1365 ÷ 38.685 ≈ 1365 ÷ 39 ≈ 35, ? ÷ 23.789 ≈ ? ÷ 24. So 35 ≈ ? ÷ 24, giving ? ≈ 35 × 24 = 840. Precise calculation: 1365 ÷ 38.685 = 35.28, ? = 35.28 × 23.789 = 839.55 ≈ 840. Option D is correct.

C Correct answer
Explanation

To find the value of the question mark, we first calculate each term: 1/7 of 2803 is approximately 400, and 129.8% of 770.4 is approximately 1000. Adding these gives us about 1400. Since 14 × 100 = 1400, the answer is 100. This problem tests your ability to work with percentages and fractions simultaneously.

A Correct answer
Explanation

√5687 ≈ 75.41, √1245 ≈ 35.28, √689 ≈ 26.25. LHS = (75.41 × 35.28) ÷ 26.25 = 2660.5 ÷ 26.25 ≈ 101.35. Then ? = 101.35 × 13 = 1317.55 ≈ 1320.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Approximate: 47 × 562.58 ≈ 47 × 560 ≈ 26,320. Similarly, 23 × 112.23 ≈ 23 × 110 ≈ 2,530. Dividing: 26,320 ÷ 2,530 ≈ 10.4. The closest option is 10. For better approximation: 47 × 562.58 = 26,441.26 and 23 × 112.23 = 2,581.29, giving 26,441.26 ÷ 2,581.29 ≈ 10.24 ≈ 10.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate: 32.69% of 3394.69 ≈ 0.3269 × 3395 ≈ 1109.7. Next, 12.68% of 169.78 ≈ 0.1268 × 170 ≈ 21.56. Sum: 1109.7 + 21.56 ≈ 1131.26. The equation is: 1131.26 = ? - 623.68. Therefore: ? = 1131.26 + 623.68 ≈ 1754.94. The closest option is 1734 (Option B).

C Correct answer
Explanation

Round 864.799 to 865 and 39.012 to 39, giving 865 × 39 = 33735. Round 72.899 to 73 and 14.02 to 14, giving 73 × 14 = 1022. The difference is 33735 - 1022 = 32713, which rounds to 32700. Option A (32300) is too low, while D (31000) and E (34000) are further from the actual value.
