Bat And Ball Riddle
If a baseball and a bat cost $1.10 together, and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?
Hint: The answer isn't 10 cents.
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?

A Lady Steals $100
How smart are you?.....A lady walks in the store and steals $100 bill from the register without the owners knowledge. She comes back 5 mins later and buys $70 worth of goods with the $100 bill. The owner gives her $30 in change, how much did the owner lose????
A. $30
B. 70
C. $100
D. $130
E. $170
F. $200
DO NOT OVER THINK IT!
A. $30
B. 70
C. $100
D. $130
E. $170
F. $200
DO NOT OVER THINK IT!
Hint:
The best answer from the choices is the owner lost $100. The $100 bill that was stolen was then given back to the owner. What the owner loses is the $70 worth of goods and the $30 in change, which makes for a total of $70 + $30 = $100. The owner has lost $100.
Technically, the owner lost $30 plus the value, V, of the $70 of goods. Since stores typically sell goods at a markup, the value may be less than $70. But in the case of a loss leader, the owner may have lost more than $70. Did you answer this riddle correctly?

Fruit Shopping
I am at the local super-market buying fruits. An apple costs $1. An orange costs $9 more than the apple. A watermelon costs $5 more than the orange. If I buy one of each of these 3, what is the total amount I have to pay?
Hint:
$26
The cost of an apple is $1. Since it is mentioned that the orange is $9 more than the apple.
Cost of orange = $10; So cost of watermelon = $15
So if I buy all 3 the total I have to pay is; 1 + 10 + 15 = $26 Did you answer this riddle correctly?
