Curious question about a ball

I was expecting more interest in balls tbh

My result is in the majority, but the fact it’s split the way it is gives me concern.
Does @Inkandtatts need to make one of his famous "how to" posts about putting on socks just for you?

If the bat costs $1 more than the ball, we have the equivalent of 2 balls + $1.00, i.e. the bat costs the same as the ball (x) plus an additional $1.00.
2x + $1 = $1.10
2x = $0.10
x = $0.05
In words, the ball is $0.05. The bat, being one dollar more, is $1.05. Together, the bat and the ball are $1.10.
2x + $1 = $1.10
2x = $0.10
x = $0.05
In words, the ball is $0.05. The bat, being one dollar more, is $1.05. Together, the bat and the ball are $1.10.
