Can Cred Forums do simple math

5 cents

I make like 100 bucks, pay with a ten dollar bill when cashier gets my change beat him with bat and empty out the register

where are you getting 1.05 for the bat?

5 cents.

10 cent's you retards 10+100=110

i want to know as well. I'll buy a shit load of them

$0.04 Cents.
$1.00 for the bat
$0.06 for PA state tax

100-10=90

we're not given the exact price of either the ball or the bat

its a trick question

yes

(bat) + (ball) = 1.10
(bat) = 1.00 + (ball)

therefore,

[1.00 + (ball)] + (ball) = 1.10
1.00 + 2(ball) = 1.10
ball = .05

Bat = 1.00 + .05 = 1.05.

Anons you are scaring me

i already did the math in the post above yours

it just is weird the math says one thing but my brain is saying something different where i dont trust the math

>what's the sales tax rate?

We're not given tax in this problem.
Since $1.10= bat AND ball,
ANNND bat = $1.00 more than ball,

ez math == $1.10- $1.00

Ball clearly equals 10 cent. No tax.

Free. Cause I'm going to smack the shop manager with the bat and steal the ball.

impossible to tell since the value of "IF" is not stated which leaves a varation of possible answers for the value of the ball

28 potatos

3/10, would not fuck.

Bat is $1 MORE than ball you mongoloids.

Ball = .05
Bat = 1.05

1.05
- .05
1.00 more.

Total =$1.10.

Stop being stupid.

You forgot the glove

Ball cost $1 MORE than the ball
So if ball is $0.10 then the bat is $1.10
That brings the total to $1.20

So obviously the ball has to be $0.05
Because $0.05 + a dollar more ($1.05) = $1.10

dude you suck at explaining things, it's impossible to know the bat is 1.05 without doing the entire mathematical equation

wait nm i just realized it's also solvable by logic so ignore me

50 - 13 = 47 therefore
Bat + ball = $1.05 = 50|¥{.?'al +939$@

T+L=1.1
T-L=1
T=1+L
(1+L)+L=1.1
2L+1=1.1
2L=0.1
L=0.05
Ball=$0.05

>2ball+1.00=1.10
>2ball=0.10
"2ball" is where you fucked up, you can't yank the variable out of the brackets like that

>its a trick question
no it isn't

i skipped some steps but 2ball=ball + ball

it was lazy

there was no fucking yanking the variable you retarded nigger

parentheses can be broken when it is simple addition

Fuck u retard no dick gayger

Phillyfag here. Lost at dippy eggs

the bat is $1.05, the ball is $0.05

1.05 - 0.05 = $1

Kek

Oh the fucking wording got me, thanks user.

5 cents.

I'm going to say £1 for the ball and ¥45000 for the ball, not counting the dead babies

...

You're retarded, aren't you user?

Probably marry, then kill? The one on the right isn't hot enough for the whole kaboodle, imo

$7

Where can I buy baseball and bat combo for 1.10?!?! Ima bout to sell it to Europe for riches

Good goy tell me

SHEKELSSSSS

THERES NO TIME FOR BASEBALL IN THE HITLERS YOUTH
GET BACK TO YOUR DUTIES

It's 5c, you can express it in terms of X easily:

(x+1) + x = 1.1
2x + 1 = 1.1
2x +1 - 1.1 = 0
2x - .1 = 0
2x = .1
x = .05

It is deliberately ambiguous and is designed to get people to argue over the answer being ¢10 and ¢5.

The reason it is ambiguous is because "the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball." Could mean

>The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball costs
or
>The bat costs $1.00 in addition to what you paid for the ball

One dollars and 5 cents the bat and 5 cents the baseball what do you take me for a idiot

(X+1)+x=1.1
(X+1)=1.1-x
X+1=1.1-x
X=.1-x
2x=.1
X=3.1415

Yes, yes he is.

Generally I think what people are going for is "If the bat is 1.00 more than the ball, then who's to say the bat isn't 1.00 itself leaving the other .10 for the ball?"

But my interpretation is the bat has to be 1.00 MORE than the ball, meaning some value has to be attributed to the bat before the ball's value can be addressed to be inside of the mean.
So .5 cents. But whatever. I see both sides to this.

No cuz then the bat is 90cents more than the ball

Bat = $1,05
Ball = $0,05

...

Thanks for that. We hadn't quite figured it out

You are welcome, my friend.

...

but it's not ambiguous because that's now how english works, only an idiot would think it was the second option

its 5 cents, I didn't get it for a while and thought it was 10 cents but its $1 MORE than the ball

8 Canadian dollars

...

Does this account for sales tax?

Eriefag here, this city is infested with nigs. We've been getting imports from Detroit for awhile now.

You could beat up some random 12 year old and get both for free

I think that was the point.

Why is this question asked using 1950s costs? Christ, inflation anyone?!?!

found the jew

I don't get it.

Steel's heavier than feathers.

Fucking really

Williamsport fag reporting.
I can attest for almost all these.

No, this was definetely on 9gag and other such sites.

are you fucking retarded

05 check em

For simplicity: label the Bat "A" and the Ball "B."

A+B=1.10
Because A is 1.00 more than B, it follows that

A-B=1.00,

This is because subtraction gives us the "distance" between the two prices. So,
A = 1.10-B = 1.00+B.

You can probably see where this is going, but I'm going to drive it home.

1.10-1.00 = 2B,
Simplify to: 0.10 = 2B,
Simplify to: 0.05 = B.

>and there we have it anons, the ball is equal to $0.05 and therefore the bat must be equal to $1.05.

either 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10.

what a shit equation

There is no way the wording could be correctly or even arguably interpreted as the second option.

If you ever read it as the second option you should get checked for brain damage.
