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).

Telegram’s stand out feature is its encryption scheme that keeps messages and media secure in transit. The scheme is known as MTProto and is based on 256-bit AES encryption, RSA encryption, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The result of this complicated and technical-sounding jargon? A messaging service that claims to keep your data safe.Why do we say claims? When dealing with security, you always want to leave room for scrutiny, and a few cryptography experts have criticized the system. Overall, any level of encryption is better than none, but a level of discretion should always be observed with any online connected system, even Telegram.
