Question : 89 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

(12.03 - [26.06 - \{2.18 + 5.25 \times (5.97 - 3.13)\}]) = ?

Solution:

Concept:

Use approximation to convert decimals to nearest whole numbers, then apply BODMAS rule.

Explanation:

Approximate each value:

12.03 \approx 12

26.06 \approx 26

2.18 \approx 2

5.25 \approx 5

5.97 \approx 6

3.13 \approx 3

Expression becomes:

(12 - [26 - \{2 + 5 \times (6 - 3)\}])

Solve the innermost bracket:

6 - 3 = 3

Multiply:

5 \times 3 = 15

Add inside braces:

2 + 15 = 17

Subtract:

26 - 17 = 9

Final subtraction:

12 - 9 = 3

Answer:

The approximate value of '?' is

3

, so option B is correct.
