Why is the answer to this question 5 cents and not 10 cents? “A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?”
In: Mathematics
The bat doesn’t cost $1, it cost $1 MORE than the ball. If the ball cost 10 cents, the bat would cost $ 1.10 for a total of $1.20. The ball cost 5 cents making the bat $1.05 for a total of $1.10.
