    approximate value that should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation? 14.99 ÷ 5.01 x 9.99 – 6.99 = ? 
    A −7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Step 1: Approximate the values

    14.99 ≈ 15
    5.01 ≈ 5
    9.99 ≈ 10
    6.99 ≈ 7

    So approximately: (15÷5)×10−7(15 \div 5) \times 10 - 7 ( 15 ÷ 5 ) × 10 − 7 Step 2: Perform operations

    15 ÷ 5 = 3
    3 × 10 = 30
    30 - 7 = 23

     Closest approximate value: 23
