Answer 1

Answer:8

Explanation:

Total money of club is =1200

Club can spend upto 85 % of money

therefore total money to be spend
`=0.85* 1200=1020`

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

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

no of helicopter
`=(1020)/(117.649)=8.669\approx 8`

So club can buy maximum 8 helicopters
