Question

A bat and a ball cost one dollar and ten cents in total. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

Answer 1

$
`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

Answer 2

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.
