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).

Answer: 25

The messaging service and social-media platform owes creditors roughly $700 million by the end of April, according to people briefed on the company’s plans and loan documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal. At the same time, Telegram Group Inc. must cover rising equipment and bandwidth expenses because of its rapid growth, despite going years without attempting to generate revenue.

Should I buy bitcoin?

“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
