>A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
>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.
Can anyone explain this bullshit to me?
Is this some dumb semantics riddle?
