A simple math question ?

This is a type of question asked by a Princeton psychology professor. Very interesting. See if you can guess the answer correctly without searching it up on the internet.

A bat and a ball cost a dollar and ten cents. The bat costs a dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

    5 cents because if it costs 10 cents then it would be 90 cents more, not one dollar.
