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).

Durov said on his Telegram channel today that the two and a half year blockchain and crypto project has been put to sleep. Ironically, after leaving Russia because the government wanted his encryption keys to his social media firm, Durov’s cryptocurrency idea lost steam because of a U.S. court. “The technology we created allowed for an open, free, decentralized exchange of value and ideas. TON had the potential to revolutionize how people store and transfer funds and information,” he wrote on his channel. “Unfortunately, a U.S. court stopped TON from happening.”
China’s stock markets are some of the largest in the world, with total market capitalization reaching RMB 79 trillion (US$12.2 trillion) in 2020. China’s stock markets are seen as a crucial tool for driving economic growth, in particular for financing the country’s rapidly growing high-tech sectors.Although traditionally closed off to overseas investors, China’s financial markets have gradually been loosening restrictions over the past couple of decades. At the same time, reforms have sought to make it easier for Chinese companies to list on onshore stock exchanges, and new programs have been launched in attempts to lure some of China’s most coveted overseas-listed companies back to the country.
