Not sure if it is fast though.
0.48*201*25,000 = roughlly it is 2,500,000 without doing exact math.
From the answer choices, the closest is 2,400,000, so I will pick that.
Any corrections?

I am now in the process of checking all the previous math and verbal questions and want to bring up this one. I came up with answer (D)1,300,000. Anybody got the same answer?
