In a toy store there is a ball and a bat.
together the two items cost 1.10
If the bat costs a dollar more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?
Doesn't really matter because the toy store is going out of business if they're selling a ball and bat that cheap

I feel like this a trick question. If this were a kids homework, the answer would be .10

The answer is 5 cents, and this should be worrisome to everyone.
Many thousands of university students have answered the bat-and-ball puzzle, and the results are shocking. More than 50% of students at Harvard, MIT, and Princeton gave the intuitive—incorrect—answer. At less selective universities, the rate of demonstrable failure to check was in excess of 80%. The bat-and-ball problem is our first encounter with an observation that will be a recurrent theme of this book: many people are overconfident, prone to place too much faith in their intuitions. They apparently find cognitive effort at least mildly unpleasant and avoid it as much as possible.

But what about the air inside the ball? What about the air inside the bat? You forgot about the material and coloring costs too, not to mention the poor Chinese kid that's working to take American jobs.

If the question was for what does it cost to make each item then your questions would be considered. Therefore, you answered wrong on so many levels.
