A common misconception here is that the bat costs 1p, when in reality, it costs 1p more than the ball. If the ball were .10p, then the bat would be 1p more, or 1.10p. That makes a total of 1.20p, which is incorrect. If the ball costs .05p, however, then the bat would be 1.05p, and .05p + 1.05p = 1.10p.
