Oranges cost 85 cents each. Leo has a $10 note.
Work out the maximum number of oranges he can buy

11

Step-by-step explanation: 100 cents- $1

85 x 85 x 85 x 85 x 85 x 85 x 85 x 85 x 85 x 85 x 85 = 935

935 or 9.35 dollars

3; 9 is 8 to -4

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
