Whatever, but the difference between .10 and a 1.10 is still a dollar.
I know the difference between a 1.00 and .10 is .90.
The question states the bat costs exactly 1.00 more than the ball not 1.05.
So I read this question is an experiment out of MIT. What if it's an experiment within a larger experiment to see if people can be forced to deny that which is blatantly true under peer pressure and invalidation.
As the other poster said, bullshit opfusacation.
And no, I don't bank with BOA, I've been with my local credit union for a few years now.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9540311 Yes, the bat costs a dollar more than the ball. Now $1.05 is one dollar more than $0.05. Because if you have five cents and I give you a dollar you have a dollar and five cents. $1.05. It is also true that 1.05+.05= 1.10. So both conditions are met if the ball costs 0.05. ******************************** Suppose the ball costs .10 Then according to the conditions, the bat costs 1.10, because 1+.1 = 1.10 (because that bat costs a dollar more) But a ten cent ball together with a ball costing one dollar and ten cents costs 1.20
