What value will come in place of question mark(?) in the question
45% of 848 - 55% of 422 = ?

Options

A. 185.1
B. 158.1
C. 149 .5
D. 148.2

Answer

To solve the problem \( 45\% \text{ of } 848 - 55\% \text{ of } 422 = ? \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate 45% of 848
To find 45% of 848, we can use the formula:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Percentage Value}}{100} \right) \times \text{Total} \]
So, we calculate:
\[ 45\% \text{ of } 848 = \frac{45}{100} \times 848 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ = 0.45 \times 848 = 381.6 \]

### Step 2: Calculate 55% of 422
Next, we calculate 55% of 422 using the same formula:
\[ 55\% \text{ of } 422 = \frac{55}{100} \times 422 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ = 0.55 \times 422 = 232.1 \]

### Step 3: Subtract the two results
Now, we subtract the value we found in Step 2 from the value found in Step 1:
\[ 381.6 - 232.1 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ = 149.5 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the value that comes in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \boxed{149.5} \]
