The correct answer is

25

To find the value that should replace the question mark (?) in the given equation, we need to solve the equation step-by-step.

Calculating Percentage Values

First, let's calculate the percentage values present in the equation:

  • Calculate 20% of 500: $$20\% \text{ of } 500 = \frac{20}{100} \times 500$$ $$= 0.20 \times 500$$ $$= 100$$
  • Calculate 40% of 400: $$40\% \text{ of } 400 = \frac{40}{100} \times 400$$ $$= 0.40 \times 400$$ $$= 160$$

Simplifying the Equation

Now, substitute these calculated values back into the original equation:

The original equation is: $20\% \text{ of } 500 \div ? + [40\% \text{ of } 400] = 164$

Substituting the values, we get:

$$100 \div ? + [160] = 164$$

This simplifies to:

$$100 \div ? + 160 = 164$$

Solving for the Unknown Variable

Next, we need to isolate the term containing the question mark (?).

Subtract 160 from both sides of the equation:

$$100 \div ? = 164 - 160$$ $$100 \div ? = 4$$

Finally, to solve for ?, we can rearrange the equation. Multiply both sides by ?:

$$100 = 4 \times ?$$

Now, divide both sides by 4:

$$? = \frac{100}{4}$$ $$? = 25$$

Therefore, the number that comes in place of the question mark is 25.
