To find the value that belongs in the box, we need to solve the equation \( 104 \times \Box = 153,000 \).
To isolate \( \Box \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 104:
\[ \Box = \frac{153,000}{104} \]
Now, let's perform the division:
\[ 153,000 \div 104 = 1,471.153846153846... \]
This result is approximately 1,471.15. However, since none of the answers directly match this value, we should round down to find the closest available option.
Now let's check the provided options:
A. 1.53
B. 15.3
C. 153
D. 1,530
Since none of these options approximate our calculated value closely, we need to find the scale of factors. This time we notice that \( 1,530 \) (option D) might be the most logical choice because:
\[ 104 \times 1,530 = 159,120 \]
which is directly less than 153,000 but implies that scaling might involve dimensioning down the overall factors instead of returning to estimate from a check approximation.
Based on choices close enough:
Thus, if we focus on workable comparisons and lower multiples which are reasonable, we evaluate:
The rounded choice assessing \( 104 times \) each option and closest results yields fit towards option, still datable.
So based on options given, the value in the box that aligns with expected operational terms better thus satisfactorily remains clarified for correctness.
So the most reasonable choice from the given answers would be:
D. 1,530
