100(12−(√(143)))=((100)/(12+(√(143))))    ≈((100)/(24)) ≈ 4.2   hence closest integer is  4.
$$\mathrm{100}\left(\mathrm{12}−\sqrt{\mathrm{143}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{100}}{\mathrm{12}+\sqrt{\mathrm{143}}} \\ $$$$\:\:\approx\frac{\mathrm{100}}{\mathrm{24}}\:\approx\:\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{2}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{hence}\:\mathrm{closest}\:\mathrm{integer}\:\mathrm{is}\:\:\mathrm{4}. \\ $$
