but, the question clearly states that a hammer and a nail togeher cost $1.10
the hammer is $1 more than the nail.
1.05 =/= 1.10
If a nail cost 10 cents and a hammer cost 1 dollar MORE than the nail
What does that equal??
It equals 1.10
BUT the price of the nail is not included in that... All you did was find the price of te hammer
And we know both equal 1.10
Therefore if the nail were to cost 5 cents, and the hammer cost 1 dollar more. Te hammer then cost 1.05.
You then add the cost of the nail which will then equal 1.10
