Question

A bat and ball cost a dollar and ten cents. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? If you know the answer type it! lets see who gets it right!

Answer 1

ball =x, bat = x +1, therefore x+(x+1) = $1.10

Answer 2

now find x

Answer 3

following up on ace:
cost of a ball is x:
x+x+1= 1.10
2x+1= 1.10
2x= 0.10
x= 0.05 cost of a ball is 0.05 (1 nickel)
the cost of a bat is 1+x= 1 +0.05= 1.05

cost of a ball is $0.05
cost of a bat is $1.05
cost of a bat and a ball is $1.10

I would say ace is correct, and left it to you to show the details.

Answer 4

yes you are right!
