Apple and Orange cost $250. The apple is $200 more than the orange. How much is the orange?
I could see a lot of people fell for the $50 for the orange but read the question again, it didn't say the cost of Apple is $200. If the cost of Apple is $200 then obviously that of orange will be 250 - 200 = $50, but like I said cost of Apple is not $200. The question said Apple is $200 more than Orange.
In fact, that is another way to prove $50 is not the correct answer, if Orange is $50 which makes Apple $200, then Apple is (200 - 50 = $150) more that Orange but the question said it should be $200.
Ok, enough of that, let's solve the question.
Apple and Orange cost $250 Let Apple = A Let Orange = O A + O = $250 (eqn 1)
The apple is $200 more than the orange A = O + 200 (eqn 2)
How much is the orange? (AKA, find O) putting eqn 1 and eqn 2 together "O" + 200 + "O" = 250 2"O" = 250 - 200 (did 2"O" so you don't mistake that for twenty) 2"O" = 50 O = 50 ÷ 2 O = 25
So, Orange is $25 and that makes Apple $225
To check our answer, $225 - $25 = $200 (The apple is $200 more than the orange).

In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
What Is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that you can buy, sell and exchange directly, without an intermediary like a bank. Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, originally described the need for “an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.” Each and every Bitcoin transaction that’s ever been made exists on a public ledger accessible to everyone, making transactions hard to reverse and difficult to fake. That’s by design: Core to their decentralized nature, Bitcoins aren’t backed by the government or any issuing institution, and there’s nothing to guarantee their value besides the proof baked in the heart of the system. “The reason why it’s worth money is simply because we, as people, decided it has value—same as gold,” says Anton Mozgovoy, co-founder & CEO of digital financial service company Holyheld.
