But thats not the declarative statement, the declarative statements is:
A bat and Ball cost $1.10.

FIXing the price for the two at $1.10

The question reads as a direct single statement. The second statement declares the value of the bat and at a fix price of One (1) dollar.

Deductive reasoning as a property of subtraction, gets me to the fixed cost of the ball at .10C.

There is no suggestion to add the total cost for the bat and ball, which is fixed at $1.10, to the result of the deductive value of $1.10 +.10= $1.20. when the second declarative statement fixes the bat at 1.00 dollar.

Could the problem be flawed?
