If the total price of a baseball and bat is $1.10, and the bat costs $1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

I have set this thread aflame. Hoorah!

Go back go 6th grade prealgebra you fucking retard.

$.05 + ($1.00 + $.05) = $1.10

>unironically using the retard image while making a GROSS mathematical error
you really are a retarded faggot who doesn't read instructions

I thought we were just pricing the ball on its own but ok.

This thread went full retard

this is how niggers actually think

>"i cant show why its 5 cents but i can post an epic meme to make me feel better"

on seccond thought, dont look into it too much. its better if you think its 5 cents because that means you probably cant spend money in the real world anyways and will fail in life.

nobody could be this stupid, yet here you are. and that you are so sure of your stupid answer

>bat is $1 more than the ball
>ball is $0.05
>that means the bat is $1.05
>bat($1.05)+ball($0.05)=$1.10
based retard

.05 (for ball)
+
1.05 (bat is $1 MORE than ball, not $1)
=
1.10

holy shit, mongoloid. your criticism of the correct answer was the stupidest thing on this thread all day.
you must be a nigger to be that dyscalculic

Fucking retard

The bat costs $1, more than the ball. Take $1 from the total cost. This leaves 0.10 cents, but the bat we are told costs $1 more than ball, so now we have to divide the 10 cents into two equal parts 0.05 cents and then place the $1 on to one of the 0.05 cents making $1.05 ( ie $1 more than the ball at 0.05 total $1.10 cents. The wording tends to fool us!!

you really are stupid

Look I'll admit I was wrong. I ripped this straight from someone on Yahoo.

I worry for the future

You buying a bat for a buck, you need to buy better drugs

OP here. I have a Master's in Discrete Mathematics and I am just posting the correct answer in the thread to calm down the confusion. It is ten cents. The math works out simply:

$1 is the price of the bat, and the ball is $0.10. Simply calculate $1 + $0.10 and you get $1.10, the total sum.

Bat is $1 more than ball
Means bat is ball price plus 1 buck
Total price $1.10
Remove the buck, 10 cents
10/2=5
5 cents each, plus a dollar to the bat
$1.10
You caught so many fish with that single fuckin bait

What state are we in? Because I have 6% sales tax here, you gibbering fucks.

Wait so I was right? What about this then?

Wtf

pay attention, RETARD:
>If the total price of a baseball and bat is $1.10
total price = 1.10
>and the bat costs $1 more than the ball
so if the ball costs 0.05, the bat costs $1 more, or 1.05
so
>how much does the ball cost?
there were only two conditions
total price is $1.10 & bat costs $1 more, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
> the ball costs 0.05
this is the only answer which satisfies both conditions OP gave.
THINK ABOUT IT

The ball can be 5 cents because if the bat is exactly 1 dollar more than the bat than the bat would be $1.05 meaning the total would be $1.10 it seems both answers work though

The bat and ball are not sold seperately. The ball comes free with the bat.

Only you can see links you post on Yea Forums, newfag. Everyone else sees #########################

sorry, the explanation is clear here

>bat is $1 more than the ball
>$1 more than the ball
if the ball was $0.10, the bat would be $1.10. That wouldn't equal $1.10, would it?

I have a Doctors degree in descrete mathemticas and you are wrong

this is why muricans are last in math

Worked for me who's the newfag?

What about yt vids?

Are you a Keynsian or Hayek economist?

bat = 1.05
ball = .05

You're stupid. OP clearly says the bat is $1.

The bat is $1 (more than the ball.)
$1 is the price of the bat, and it's also more than the price of the ball.

Stfu faggot

OP posts stupid old math riddle
second post has correct answer
nobody pays attention,
retards argue over the wrong answer
notice none of the retards actually state OP's conditions, yet hope to browbeat you to accept their lackwit answers

About tree fiddy

the ball is free and the 10 cents is tax

And I thought Mexicans were stupid

so I can see from your previous posts
that you're a faggot.
a logical fallacy only means your reason for supporting your claim FAILS. the claim could still be valid. in this case, it's not.
that you claimed it is in this post:
makes you a retarded faggot.

You are, for falling for it.

I hope the tencentfags just forgot the difference between the written "$1 more than the ball" and "$1. more than the ball" and just messed up at trying to be clever

They are.

*libertarian reeee*

How much to drive on your road, sir?

HOLY FUCK you people who say it is 10cents ARE FUCKING DUMB

It is 5cents. The fucking ball cost 5cents!

The bat cost a dollar extra hence, $1.05cents.

Total sum is 5cents + 1.05 = $1.10.

Libertarian here. I keked. Well done.

actually, most of the "10 cents" answers were OP shilling for his own thread. starting with this post by OP
and these by OP
the whole point of the thread was not to arrive at the right answer (the first response got it), but to troll everyone into arguing with OP. you'll notice almost everyone correctly said 5 cents, it was OP making you all think there was ever an argument.
bravo Op, bravo; you know how to play the Yea Forums trolling game well.

(X+1) + X = 1.1

2X + 1 = 1.1

2X = 0.1

X = 0.05

Nope, my only post was the actual OP (until now.) The guy who said he has a degree or whatever is also not me.

Guys. It's basic fucking math. The ball is a dollar more. $1.00 + $0.10 = $1.10. Go back to school.

It's 5 cents, by the way. .05 + 1.05 = 1.10 you fucking morons.

>everyone in this thread should be shot
you're the 29th poster to this thread, by your own logic, anyone past the first poster

should be shot, that includes you for not reading the first post. then again, the point in this post

at least there were half decent threads you cumsnorting rape toy

this isn't algebra you fat retard its simple fucking addition

ok

But then the bat only costs 90 cents more than the ball?

$0.05, and most retards aren't considering the 5 cent tax
