Larry, since math isn't my strong suit...or at least my patience with math isn't...when you finally give the answer, I would much appreciate your explanation of it being dumbed down enough that I can understand it.

Bottle cost a dollar more than the bottle and cork. ($1.05 - $1.00)/2. Bottle cost $1.025 and cork $0.025.

Correct and good explanation vett . Total cost minus cost of bottle divided by 2 .i think we need one a little harder yet .
