Mom bought a bottle for her flower and a cork for $1.10 (How she gets flowers in a bottle is another problem).
I asked her how much the bottle cost and she said,
"the bottle cost $1.00 more than the cork.
I asked her what the cork cost and she answered,
"I gave you enought information that you should be able to figure the
price for the bottle and for the cork.
Was mom right?
Hint: Guess and check
and
mom is always right!
