Can You Solve This Tricky Arithmetic? / Solve This Simple Arithmetic (2) (3) (4)
Simple Arithmetic by Nobody: 9:51pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
A bat and a ball cost £1.10. If the bat costs £1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost? |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by holyteeboy(m): 9:54pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
It is £0.1 |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by Nobody: 10:01pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
holyteeboy: Lol. That's not correct bro. |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by Nobody: 10:01pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
Anyone else? |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by AndreRose(f): 10:24pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
0.5? |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by Nobody: 10:25pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
AndreRose: That's also not correct. Sorry. |

Is there any nairalander brave enough to correctly answer this? |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by Nobody: 10:31pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
AndreRose: For some reason, you remind me of Nico & Vinz. To answer your question though, yes. 1 Like |

dolapobello1:Nico and vinz how? |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by AndreRose(f): 10:36pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
Do they cost 1.10 each? If yes,then the bat costs 2.10. If no, let me think again. |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by Nobody: 10:41pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
AndreRose: Nico & Vinz are the Dutch duo that recorded the 2013 hit with the same title as your question. |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by Nobody: 10:42pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
AndreRose: No. Don't assume anything. You have everything you need in the question. |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by AndreRose(f): 10:43pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
dolapobello1:I asked a question, you don't need to eat me raw. |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by Nobody: 10:47pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
AndreRose: Lol. I'm just messing with you. Don't mind me. |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by AndreRose(f): 10:48pm On Apr 06, 2015 |
dolapobello1:Don't. |

The ball costs £0.11. I'll explain: Cost of bat (£1> is 90% of the total cost. Therefore, cost of ball is 10% of total cost. |

m disappointed at the comments above me.. This is JSS1 arithmetic.. The correct answer is £0.05.. If bat=Bt, and ball = Bl, Bt + Bl = £1.10 .............eqn (i) Bt = £1 + Bl ..............eqn (ii) subtitute eqn (ii) in eqn (i), £1 + Bl + Bl = £1.10 2Bl = £1.10 - £1 2Bl = £0.10 Bl = £0.10/2 Bl = £0.05 Q.E.D |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by AndreRose(f): 7:15am On Apr 07, 2015 |
dejt4u:Is it not the same with my first answer? |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by dejt4u(m): 7:36am On Apr 07, 2015 |
AndreRose:0.5 is different from 0.05 check ur first post very well..u are wrong dear |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by AndreRose(f): 7:43am On Apr 07, 2015 |
dejt4u:Well, my post is wrong but my intention is that answer. This is because I removed the £1. So the remaining is £0.10. I just divide the ten into two which will give you 0.5. I guess this where I made the mistake;the correct after dividing is 0.05. But let's wait for the op to give his verdict. . . Do you need me to show my workings very well? |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by stevey25(m): 8:19am On Apr 07, 2015 |
AndreRose: AndreRose, you missed it. 0.5 is not 0.05. Just do a Jonathan and let the matter rest. 1 Like |

AndreRose:I'm very sure that you really knw it 'cos it is a very simple 'word problem'.. I'm just pinpointing your mistake.. No need to show ya working.. Nice meeting you here |
Re: Simple Arithmetic by AndreRose(f): 9:13am On Apr 07, 2015 |
dejt4u:Ok thanks. Nice meeting you too. |
