I hear you guys think you're pretty smart. Well then, answer this.

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?

Unknown, since multiple items bought together as a package are often discounted compared to buying them separately. 0.05€ is asinine, they'd go out of business.

1.10 = (ball + 1) + ball = 2ball + 1

.10 = 2ball

.05 = ball

the bat costs 1.00 more than the ball. If ball is .10 then the bat costs 1.10 by itself.

so the ball would have to be 0.5 and the bat be 1.05 for a total of 1.10.

0.05€ is the right answer, but 0.10€ is the Chad answer

>> No.11678130

All the time. It's typically either the answer just being written incorrectly or an arithmetic error earlier in the problem that cascades to a wrong answer.

The ball costs €0.10, because the bat costs €1.00 more than the ball and the total is €1.10, this must mean that the ball costs €1.10-€1.00 which is €0.10. I'm 149 IQ btw.

Trick question, the ball is an inanimate object and cannot "cost" anything. It has no way of initiating and actively directing an event, much less decide on arbitrary figures. It is nothing more than a hallow thoughtless object for higher minds to do as they please, much like your mother who coincidentally charges $0.05 for a blowjob

All first years are required to take calculus. That should be enough of a math background to answer this question correctly. Hell even a 5th grader could do it.
