Tee Time Problem Solving with Money
2
Problem: Vinny was going golfing and realized he needed a new golf ball and tee. He went to the pro shop and asked how much it would be to buy two items. The clerk told him $1 even for both. Vinny asked how much for just the ball alone? The clerk replied that it is 50 cents more than the tee. How much is the golf ball?

Solution: The cost for the ball and the tee is $1, and the cost of the ball equals $0.50 more than the tee. We can use the equation x + (x +.5) = 1. Solving this, we see that the tee is $0.25, which means each ball is $0.75.
