Correct answer: A
Explanation (step-by-step): We are given 75% of 230 − ? = 64% of 249, so ? = 75% of 230 − 64% of 249.
Compute 75% of 230: 0.75 × 230 = 172.5.
Compute 64% of 249: 0.64 × 249 = 159.36.
Subtract to find ?: 172.5 − 159.36 = 13.14.
Round as an approximate value: 13.14 ≈ 14.
Therefore the best approximate value for the question mark is 14.
