If the ball cost 10 cents and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, then the bat would cost $1.10 for a grand total of $1.20. The correct answer to this problem is that the ball costs 5 cents and the bat costs — at a dollar more — $1.05 for a grand total of $1.10.
Step-by-step explanation: if the baseball bat and the baseball together cost $1.20 and the baseball bat costs $1 more, than all you have to do is subtract $1.
