Answer 1

Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money of club is =1200

Club can spend upto 85 % of money

therefore total money to be spend$=0.85\times 1200=1020$

Helicopter cost $=\ 110.99 +6\% \ tax$

Total money to be spend on helicopter $=110.99(1.06)=\ 117.649$

no of helicopter $=\dfrac{1020}{117.649}=8.669\approx 8$

So club can buy maximum 8 helicopters
