5 cents. $1.05 + 0.05 = 1.10 That's not a riddle lol. | ||

>.< but its $.05 due to the logic that if the bat + the ball = $1.10 and the bat = $1 more than the ball just subtract $1 leaving $.10 and then the remainder has to be split between the 2 bc it has to fit the parameters given leaving the bat being $1.05 and the ball $.05 | ||

Bat = X Ball = Y X + Y = 1.10 X = 1 + Y (1 + Y) + Y = 1.10 1 + 2Y = 1.10 2Y = 0.10 Y = 0.05 X + 0.05 = 1.10 X = 1.05 Cost of Bat = $1.05 Cost of Ball = $0.05 | ||
