Answer 2

$Let \: cost \: of \: a\:ball = Rs \: x$

/* According to the problem given */

$Cost\: of \: the\: bat = Rs\: x + Rs \: 99$

$Total \:cost = Rs \: 100 \: (given)$

$\implies x + ( x + 99 ) = 100$

$\implies x + x + 99 = 100$

$\implies 2x = 100 - 99$

$\implies 2x = 1$

$\implies x = \frac{1}{2}$

$\implies x = Rs \: 0.50$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Cost \: of \: the \: ball } \green { = Rs \: 0.50}$

$\red{ Cost \: of \: the \: bat } \\= x + 99 \\= 0.50 + 99 \\= \green { = Rs \: 99.50}$
