No, trick question. The ball is .05, the bat is a dollar MORE, therefore the bat cost 1.05, bat 1,05+ball .05=1.10

It is a trick question.

Here’s another way to look at it:

kid puts ball on counter

man says that will be 5 cents

kid fishes a nickle out of his pocket and lays it down

kid puts bat on counter

man says that will a dollar more

kid comes up with four quarters, puts them on the counter, and turns to go

man says “wait a minute”, kid turns, man tosses him some bazooka joe.
