Bat $1.00
Ball 4 cents
Tax 6 cents

Total $1.10

10:56 That's if you live in Maryland. In Delaware the ball would be 10 cents.

$2.95

It is 5 cents. 1.05-.05= $1.00. 1.05+.05=1.10

It's not 10 cents because then the difference between the ball and the bat would be 90 cents ($1-10 cents). It's 5 cents - $1.05 - .05

I have to agree with the 5 cents answer

I agree with 11:35. The bat has to be $1.00 MORE than the ball. So if the bat is $1.05 & the ball is $.05 you've got the $1.10. There's no tax because it was bought online. :-)

I need the name of the store that sells a bat and ball for 1.10.

I'll have to side with the $1.05+.05 crowd...

Whoever buys it for whatever the price is, donate it to the Yankees because they sure need the practice.
