Seeing that the question I asked was buried in another thread, we'll do a new topic. Question is.....

You have a bat and ball that cost $1.10. The bat cost $1.00 more then the ball. How much did you pay for the bat? The answer is in my next post. You might need a pen and paper to get this one right.
 
$1.05

Let x represent the price of the ball. Therefore x + (x + $1.00) = $1.10
Doing a little math we get 2x + $1.00 = $1.10
Subtract $1.00 from both sides given us 2x=.10
Multiply both side by 1/2 gives us x=.05
If the ball ( X ) = .05 then the bat must cost $1.05
No calculator needed.

don't see how that is since the ball and bat combined cost $1.10 and if the bat cost $1.00 more then the ball how could the ball only be worth $0.05? where does the other $0.05 go? taxes? underground ball and bat economy?


maybe its a USA thing:D
