Maximum number of oranges Lois can send is:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Lois wants to send a box of oranges to a friend by mail.

The box of oranges cannot exceed a mass of 10 kg.

1 kg=1000 g

10 kg=10000 g

i.e. Mass of box cannot exceed 10000 g

Each orange has a mass of 200 g.

Mass of 50 oranges=50×200 g

                                =10000 g

Hence, maximum number of oranges Lois can send is:

50

the correct answer is 45x
