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[tex]=0.85\times 1200=1020[/tex]

Helicopter cost [tex]=\$ 110.99 +6\% \ tax[/tex]

Total money to be spend on helicopter [tex]=110.99(1.06)=\$ 117.649[/tex]

no of helicopter [tex]=\dfrac{1020}{117.649}=8.669\approx 8[/tex]
