What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following questions ?
16% of `885 + ? = 325`

Options

A. 178.6
B. 195.8
C. 183.4
D. 172.2

Answer

To solve the equation \( 16\% \text{ of } 885 + ? = 325 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate 16% of 885
To find 16% of 885, we can use the formula for percentage:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Percentage Value}}{100} \times \text{Total Value} \]
Thus, we calculate:
\[ 16\% \text{ of } 885 = \frac{16}{100} \times 885 \]

### Step 2: Simplify the calculation
Calculating \( \frac{16}{100} \) gives us \( 0.16 \). Now we multiply:
\[ 0.16 \times 885 = 141.6 \]

### Step 3: Substitute back into the equation
Now we substitute \( 141.6 \) back into the equation:
\[ 141.6 + ? = 325 \]

### Step 4: Isolate the question mark
To find \( ? \), we need to isolate it by subtracting \( 141.6 \) from both sides of the equation:
\[ ? = 325 - 141.6 \]

### Step 5: Perform the subtraction
Now we perform the subtraction:
\[ ? = 325 - 141.6 = 183.4 \]

### Final Answer
Thus, the value that should come in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \boxed{183.4} \]
