A baseball bat and ball cost $1.10. The bat costs 1 dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?









ANSWERS

1
B)
Income tax
Income tax was first implemented in Great Britain by William Pitt the Younger in his budget of December 1798 to pay for weapons and equipment in preparation for the Napoleonic Wars. Pitt's new graduated (progressive) income tax began at a levy of 2 old pence in the pound (1/120) on incomes over £60 (£6,719 as of 2021),[7] and increased up to a maximum of 2 shillings (10%) on incomes of over £200. Pitt hoped that the new income tax would raise £10 million, but actual receipts for 1799 totalled just over £6 million

2
The ball is worth 5 cents and the baseball bat is worth $1.05.

Your first impulse may lead you to think that the ball is worth 10 cents, but in that case the total for the bat and ball would be $1.20.
