Correct answer: A

Concept: to find a missing value in a numeric equation, evaluate the known side using the standard order of operations — multiplication before addition — then isolate the unknown by dividing both sides by its coefficient.

  1. Multiply: 283 × 56 = 15,848

  2. Add 252 to the product: 15,848 + 252 = 16,100

  3. Divide both sides by 20 to isolate the unknown: ? = 16,100 ÷ 20 = 805

Cross-check: 20 × 805 = 16,100, and 16,100 − 252 = 15,848, which equals 283 × 56 — confirming the value.

Hence, the value in place of the question mark is 805.
