What value will come in place of question mark (?) in the questions given below?
53.2 x 42.74 x 12 = ? + 86.54

Options

A. 22436.54
B. 25247.47
C. 27198.68
D. 21564.74

Answer

To solve the equation \( 53.2 \times 42.74 \times 12 = ? + 86.54 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the product of the numbers on the left side of the equation.
First, we need to multiply the three numbers: \( 53.2 \), \( 42.74 \), and \( 12 \).

\[ 53.2 \times 42.74 = 2275.768 \]

Now, multiply this result by \( 12 \):

\[ 2275.768 \times 12 = 27309.216 \]

### Step 2: Set up the equation.
Now we can set up the equation based on the problem statement:

\[ 27309.216 = ? + 86.54 \]

### Step 3: Isolate the question mark.
To find the value of \( ? \), we need to subtract \( 86.54 \) from both sides of the equation:

\[ ? = 27309.216 - 86.54 \]

### Step 4: Perform the subtraction.
Now, we perform the subtraction:

\[ 27309.216 - 86.54 = 27222.676 \]

### Step 5: Conclusion.
Thus, the value that comes in place of the question mark \( ? \) is:

\[ ? = 27222.676 \]
