Question

a baseball bat and a ball cost is rs 50. if the bat cost rs 49 more than the ball. What is the cost of each?

Answer 1

the bat cost is rs 49 and the ball cost is rs 1

49+x=50
x=50-49
x=1

Answer 2

let cost of ball be x
bat cost = x+49
total cost = x+x+49 = 50

2x+49= 50
2x= 50-49
2x= 1
x=1/2
bat cost = 1/2+49
= 99/49
