Question

a bottle with a cork sells for $1.10. If the bottle cost $1 more than the cork, how much does the bottle cost?

Answer 1

Is this a trick question?
$1 bottle
$1.10 bottle w/ cork

Answer 2

so you propose the cork cost .10; and the bottle costs $1 more than the cork - at $1.10 added together that would be $1.20 right?

Answer 3

X is cork. Bottle is x + 1.00 . 1.10 = 1.00 + x. Subtract 1.00 and x = .10

Answer 4

i agree with your x and x+100; but then you dont add those

Answer 6

lets call it cork = c

c + c + 100 = 110

2c + 100 = 110

2c = 110 -100

2c = 10

c = 10/2

c = 5

bottle = 105

Answer 7

my real question is, why is this in the paradox section of a book i read .... but then i spose this answers it lol

Answer 8

Why is there 2 c? You are adding two variables of a cork. We are only looking at one bottle, which would have 1 cork.

Answer 9

the bottle is the price of the cork + $1 right?

Answer 10

sounds much better when read out loud
a bottle and a cork cost a dollar ten cents. i get so high i can't pay the rent

Answer 11

so its not the number of corks that are bought, but the price that matters

Answer 12

i love this question. total is $1.10 and the bottle cost $1 more than the cork, so the bottle cost $1.05 and the cork cost $.05

Answer 13

got a 100 on my journal, but i think its cause i mention credence clearwater revival

Answer 14

Cork(c) and bottle = 1.10
Bottle is 1.00 more than cork(c)
1.10 - 1.00 = c
c+ 1.00 = 1.10
therefore c = .10

Answer 15

Ohh I see I forget to subtract the c from the total. You're right.

Answer 16
