Answers
Answer:cost of ball is 0.05
Step-by-step explanation:let cost of ball be X. cost of the bat is X +1. THEN TOTAL COST IS 1.10.
x+x+1=1.10
2X=0.1
x=0.05
hence,the ball cost is 0.05.bat cost is 1.05
which would be equal to 1.10
*Hey Fellas!*
Let the cost of ball be (x) & cost of bat be (y)
If, x = 0.10 USD
Then, Cost of Bat would be 1 USD more then that of ball. Therefore,
y = x + 1
y = 0.10 + 1
y = 1.20
Since, Total Cost = x + y
Total Cost = 0.10 + 1.20
Total Cost = 1.30 USD (Which is Wrong, Since Total Cost = 1.10 USD is given)
________________________________________________________
Correct Answer -
x + y = 1.10 *(given) ----------> eqn (i)*
y = x + 1 *(given) ----------> eqn (ii)*
Substituting the value of (y) from eqn (ii) in eqn (i) -
x + x + 1 = 1.10
2x = 0.10
x = 0.5 [ put in eqn (ii) ]
y = x +1
y = 1.05
Total Cost = x + y
Total Cost = 1.05 + 0.5
Total Cost = 1.10 USD
Therefore, The cost of bat is 1.05 USD and the cost of ball is 0.05 USD
I hope you all understand it now
