What approximate value will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question? (Note: You are not expected to calculate the exact value.)

? = 41.92% of 49.96% of (45.07 ^1.97 – 4.98 ^2.03)
(15.15 × 31.98) + 30.15% of 719.99 = ? + 124.34
15.2 x 1.5 + 258.88+ ? = 398.12 + 15.9
784.69 + 86.96 ÷ 29.01 = 40.01 + ? + 367.88
(29.892 × √290) + 32.98 × 6.91 = ?
(15.87% of 79.98 + 19.69% of 64.22) × 4.83 = ?
(3/5) of 3025 + (18² + 12²) = ? + 22.22% of 1125
24.75% of 20.125% of 30.05% of 2196.06 = ?
(799.81/64) ÷ (10/799.92) × (129.84/130) = ?
