A bat and a ball cost one dollar and ten cents in total. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

Verified Answer :

If the ball cost 10 cents and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball,then the bat would cost $1.10 for a grand total of $1.20. The correct answer to this problem is that the ball costs 5 cents and the bat costs— at a dollar more — $1.05 for a grand total of $1.10.

$\(1\) and \(10\) cents is the cost of both the bat and the ball... if the bat is \(1\) more than the ball the bat cost \(1.10\) and the ball costs \(10\) cents... you can do that by multiplying  \(1.00\)×\(C\). The value \(C\) is how much cents there are. Next highlight \(10\) cents. finally do \(1.00\)× \(.10\). \(.10\)  is another way for cents... It equals \(1.10\). \(1.10\) is indeed greater than \(.10\). so \(.10\) is the answer
