Explanations
5 cents. The bottle costs a dollar more, or $1.05, making the total cost $1.10.Often the first “intrinsic guess“ is to split the $1.10 amount into $1 and 10 cents respectively. Which, in turn, won't satisfy the conditions of the puzzle as the difference between $1 and 10 cents is only 90 cents.
