Jack buys two baseballs, together they cost $1.10.?

Question

the first one cost a dollar more than the second one. how much does each baseball cost?

Answer 1

So the total price is $1.10 for TWO ITEMS


First divide 1.10 in half (for two items)

which equals 55 cents.

then imagine the number 55.

Since the first one is a dollar more, 55 will go two different ways. So 55 can go 50 cents up. and 55 can also go 50 cents down. which will be a 1.00 difference.

55 + 50 cents = 105 cents which is also $1.05

55 - 50 cents = 5 cents.


so the first baseball is $1.05
and the second one is 5 cents.

hope i helped!

Answer 2

Jack buys two baseballs, together they cost $1.10. Jack made his purchases at a retail store. Therefore Jack bought the baseballs a long time ago.

Answer 3

you can divide 1.10/2 then add one dollar to the first one

Answer 4

x + y =1.10

x = y +1

solve these two equetion with two unknowns

you get 1.05 and .05

Answer 5

x + y = 1.10

x = y + 1

(y + 1) + y = 1.10
2y + 1 = 1.10
2y = .10
y = .05

x = .05 + 1
x = 1.05

One of them costs $1.05
The other one costs $0.05

Answer 6

1 $1.05
2 $0.05

Answer 7

ugh need coffee...

X=Y+1
X+Y=1.10

(Y+1)+Y=1.10
Y+1+Y=1.10
Y+Y=1.10-1
2Y=0.10
Y=0.10/2
Y=0.05

X=Y+1
X=(0.05)+1
X=1.05
(X=1.05, Y=0.05)
