A bat and a ball costs $1.10 in total.

Question

I’m sure you have heard of this math problem. No matter how many times someone explained this to me I still feel confused. Can someone explain in the simplest way possible?

Answer 1

What part of this you have problem with? Please provide more context.
The only constrains are that

1) bat price + ball price is $1.10, and

2) price of ball + 1$ = price of the bat.

So the only numbers that work with this is 0.05$ and 1.05$. Do you have problem with equation that should be written?
