The problem is stated incorrectly and misleading. It's not a baseball and a bat cost $1.10. It is two baseballs and a bat cost $1.10.
Then the cost would be $115.00 not a dollar and ten cents.
Sorry... you're correct. The bat is $105, ball is $5. I was following a different train of thought.
Looking at it a second time I still thought it was mistated differently but it's not.
