Approximate each term by rounding to the nearest whole number:

49.95 ≈ 50

12.12 ≈ 12

19.98 ≈ 20

7.95 ≈ 8

1.98 ≈ 2

60.05 ≈ 60

Calculate each component:

First term: 50 × 12 = 600

Second term: 20 × 8 = 160

Third term: 2 × 60 = 120

Combine the terms:

600 - 160 - 120 = 320

Thus, the correct answer is 320.
