the thread about nothing...

"50% of MIT students get this problem wrong"

If a baseball and a bat cost $1.10 together, and the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?
 
The ball cost 5 cents.


Ball costs $0.05.

x+(x+1)=1.10
2x=0.10
x=0.05
0.05+(0.05+1)=$1.10

MIT here I come

I dont get it lol

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.
 
I hate math. Explain to me why it isn't 10cents
