The way I started thinking about the problem is, you’ve got $1.10 to spend in total. $1 is spent on the difference between the bat and the ball. That leaves $.1 which is split evenly between the bat and the ball.
So what I end up doing is, as Tordmor says below:
1.10 − 1 = .10
.10 / 2 = .05
This is essentially the explanation given by wedrifid but I wrote it before reading his and tried to format it more consistently with your comment below.

Why is it split evenly? (I’m just wondering what your thought process is)
