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).

How to Invest in Bitcoin?
Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.”
