A bottle and cork cost $1.10. If the bottle costs a dollar more than the cork, how much does the cork cost?
Most people guess 10 cents, but $1 more than 10 cents is $1.10, which would mean the total cost would be $1.20, not $1.10.
The correct answer is 5 cents. If the cork costs 5 cents, then the bottle costs a dollar more, or $1.05, making the total cost $1.10.
