First, let’s set up the equation:
x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10
$1.00 + 2x = $1.10
2x = $1.10 – $1.00
2x = $0.10
Finally, solve for x:
x = $0.05
x + ($1.00 + x) = $1.10
$1.00 + 2x = $1.10
2x = $1.10 – $1.00
2x = $0.10
Finally, solve for x:
x = $0.05
narendera:
if the ball is 5p, and the bat is £1 more, its values the bat at £1.05 and it all adds up nicely to £1.10.
