Adam bought a baseball bat and a baseball. He paid $ 1.10 for two of them. The baseball bat cost $ 1 more than a ball. What are the prices of these items?​

Answer:

0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets consider that cost of bat is 'x' and cost of baseball is 'y'.

Therefore, according to the question

x + y = $1.10

And the cost of bat is one dollar more than that of baseball, therefore -

x - y = $1.00

Now let us add these two equations, which will cancel out 'y' i.e, cost of baseball

=> 2x = $2.10

=> x = $1.05

Thus the cost of bat is $1.05

Now substitute this value of x in any equation...lets consider in first equation

=> 1.05 + y= 1.10

=> y = $0.05

Therefore the cost of baseball is $0.05.

I hope this helps! (If it does, may I please get brainliest?)
