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

5 cents

Explanation:

If bat + ball = 1.10 and the bat is a dollar more you know that the bat must cost at least 1 dollar. Divide the ten cents by two to split it evenly between the two and $1.05 is one dollar more than 5 cents
