The bat and the ball cost 1 dollar and 10 cents (together). The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
5 cents.
The price of the ball is X. The bat costs 1 dollar more - X + 1. We get the following equation: X + (X + 1) = 1.1, because the bat and ball together cost 1.1 dollars. We solve the equation:
2X + 1 = 1.1;
2X = 1.1 - 1;
2X = 0.1;
X = 0.05.
So the ball costs 5 cents and the bat costs $1.05.
