Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 2:17 pmThe obvious answer is $0.10, but since I expect a trick question, $0.05.

Re: How does it cost?
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 5:22 pmI thought the answer was $0.10, but before I looked I said to myself it wouldn't be because it is too simple. I couldn't think of anything else though - how did you come up with $0.05? 
Re: How does it cost?
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 5:36 pmIt price of the ball can't be $0.10 because together the two items cost $1.10 and the bat costs 1 dollar more than the ball-if the ball was $0.10 then the bat would be $1.10 by itself-so the total would be $1.20.
If the ball only costs $0.05, the bat (which costs $1.00 more) would then cost $1.05. So, $1.05 + $0.05 = $1.10.

Re: How does it cost?
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 6:35 pmThere are two unknowns, so I'll use two equations.
1) bat + ball = $1.10
2) bat = $1.00 + ball
now substitute equation one into equation two
($1.00 + ball) + ball = $1.10
$1.00 + ball + ball = $1.10 (brackets removed)
$1.00 + 2ball = $1.10 (simplified)
2ball = $1.10 - $1.00 (simplified)
2ball = $0.10 (simplified)
ball = $0.05 (simplified)
1) bat + ball = $1.10
2) bat = $1.00 + ball
now substitute equation one into equation two
($1.00 + ball) + ball = $1.10
$1.00 + ball + ball = $1.10 (brackets removed)
$1.00 + 2ball = $1.10 (simplified)
2ball = $1.10 - $1.00 (simplified)
2ball = $0.10 (simplified)
ball = $0.05 (simplified)

Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2005 8:31 amAll these complicated equations confuse me. Surely it's a case of simple mathematics & reading the question properly.
Note that it doesn't say the bat is 10 times more than the ball. It's one dollar more than the ball. I'll go along with Richie on this one. The bat at $1.05 is exactly 1 dollar more than the ball at $0.05. $1.05 + $0.05 = $1.10.
