$[tex]1 [/tex] and [tex]10[/tex] cents is the cost of both the bat and the ball... if the bat is [tex]1[/tex] more than the ball the bat cost [tex]1.10[/tex] and the ball costs [tex]10[/tex] cents... you can do that by multiplying [tex]1.00 [/tex]×[tex]C[/tex]. The value [tex]C[/tex] is how much cents there are. Next highlight [tex]10[/tex] cents. finally do [tex]1.00[/tex]× [tex].10 [/tex]. [tex].10[/tex] is another way for cents... It equals [tex]1.10[/tex]. [tex]1.10[/tex] is indeed greater than [tex].10[/tex]. so [tex].10[/tex] is the answer
