What approximate value will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question?
`326.99 -: 2.98 + 44.97 xx (301)/(502) = ?`

Options

A. 128
B. 141
C. 144
D. 136

Answer

To solve the expression \( 326.99 \div 2.98 + 44.97 \times \frac{301}{502} = ? \), we will break it down into manageable steps.

### Step 1: Approximate the values
First, we can round the numbers to make calculations easier:
- \( 326.99 \approx 327 \)
- \( 2.98 \approx 3 \)
- \( 44.97 \approx 45 \)
- \( 301 \approx 300 \)
- \( 502 \approx 500 \)

### Step 2: Perform the division
Now, we will perform the division:
\[ 327 \div 3 = 109 \]

### Step 3: Perform the multiplication
Next, we will calculate the multiplication:
\[ 45 \times \frac{300}{500} = 45 \times 0.6 = 27 \]

### Step 4: Add the results
Now, we will add the results from the previous steps:
\[ 109 + 27 = 136 \]

### Final Answer
Thus, the approximate value that will come in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \boxed{136} \]
