Answer 22

lol, yay

Answer 23

so... say... the ball is "a", and the bat is "b"

we know that a+b = 110 cents or $1.10
so a+ b = 110

but we also know that, the bat is 100 cents more than the ball, or "a"
thus b = a + 100

so... \(\bf a+b=110\qquad \qquad {\color{brown}{ b=a+100}}
\\ \quad \\
a+{\color{brown}{ a+100}}=110\implies 2a+100=110\)

pretty sure you can take it from there
