A BAT AND A BALL COST 110 IN TOTAL THE BAT COSTS 100 MORE THAN THE BALL H RIDDLES WITH ANSWERS TO SOLVE - PUZZLES & BRAIN TEASERS

Here's the solution: Although $1.00 + $0.10 does equal $1.10, if you take $1.00 $0.10 you get $0.90, but the problem requires that the bat costs $1 more than the ball. So, the ball must cost $0.05, and the bat must cost $1.05 since $1.05 + $0.05 = $1.10 --- Still not convinced? You can use algebra to solve the problem: First, lets set up the equation: x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10 $1.00 + 2x = $1.10 2x = $1.10 $1.00 2x = $0.101 Finally, solve for x: x = $0.05 Check your work: x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10, so $0.05 + ($1.00 + $0.05) = $1.10 Did you answer this riddle correctly?

The ball costs 5c. Not 10c. One dollar more than 10c is $1.10, $1.10 + 10c is $1.20 One dollar more than 5c is $1.05. The sum of which is $1.10. Did you answer this riddle correctly?

Still not convinced? You can use algebra to solve the problem:

First, lets set up the equation:

x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10

$1.00 + 2x = $1.10

2x = $1.10 $1.00

2x = $0.101

Finally, solve for x:

x = $0.05

Check your work:

x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10, so

$0.05 + ($1.00 + $0.05) = $1.10 Did you answer this riddle correctly?
