$
1 and
10 cents is the cost of both the bat and the ball... if the bat is
1 more than the ball the bat cost
1.10 and the ball costs
10 cents... you can do that by multiplying
1.00×
C. The value
C is how much cents there are. Next highlight
10 cents. finally do
1.00×
.10.
.10 is another way for cents... It equals
1.10.
1.10 is indeed greater than
.10. so
.10 is the answer

If the ball cost 10 cents and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball,then the bat would cost $1.10 for a grand total of $1.20. The correct answer to this problem is that the ball costs 5 cents and the bat costs— at a dollar more — $1.05 for a grand total of $1.10.
