    125.009 + 69.999 + 104.989 = ?
    Lets assume, each value is approximated to nearest whole number
    ⇒ ? ≈ 125 + 70 + 105

    Correct Option: B

    125.009 + 69.999 + 104.989 = ?
    Lets assume, each value is approximated to nearest whole number
    ⇒ ? ≈ 125 + 70 + 105
    ⇒ ? ≈ 300


  1. 16.003 x 27.998 - 209.010 = ?

    ? = 16.003 x 27.998 - 209.010
    ? ≈ 16 x 28 - 210 = 448 - 210

    Correct Option: D

    ? = 16.003 x 27.998 - 209.010
    ? ≈ 16 x 28 - 210 = 448 - 210
    ? = 238 ≈ 240



  1. 840.003 ÷ 23.999 = ?

    ? = 840.003 ÷ 23.999
    Here one number is increased and other is decreased to their nearest whole number.

    Correct Option: C

    ? = 840.003 ÷ 23.999
    Here one number is increased and other is decreased to their nearest whole number
    = 840 ÷ 24 = 35

    ? = 6885.009 - 419.999 - 94.989
    = 6885 - 420 - 95

    Correct Option: C

    ? = 6885.009 - 419.999 - 94.989
    = 6885 - 420 - 95 ≈ 6370
