Another Number Game

IP: 7929 82B1

3 dudes be goin to a hotel. They wanna a room with 3 beds, so the guy said:

"it'll cost $30.00"

So each guy gives $10.00, and tells the bellboy to bring up the bags. Ten minutes later the bellboy knocked on the door with the bags in his hands, and said:

"we forgot about the special rate right now, the room is only $25.00!"
and he gives them back $5.00.

So each guy took a dollar each (= $3.00) and gave the bellboy a $2.00 tip.

So then each guy paid $9.00 for the room, and the bellboy got tipped $2.00.

DO the math......9 x 3 = 27...........27 + 2 = 29............

$29.00.....where did the other $1.00 go?

$25.00 for the room devided by 3 means they each paid 8.33 for the room, and they each have $1 left in their pockets. Add a $1 to $8.33 = $9.33. $9.33 x 3 + the $2 that was given as a tip = $30.

well, there's 30 seconds of my life i will never have back.

no. $5.00 (refund) - $3.00 (each) = $2.00 (tip)

They took $1.00 back, which means they only paid $9.00 each. The $5.00 refund got split evenly with the three of them, and the $2.00 leftover went to the tip.

Nothing happened. There was no "other dollar".

The three men had paid $9 each, or a total of $27". $25 went for the hotel room, and the bellhop kept the remaining $2.

No.
$30.00 to Hotel.
$5.00 back to guys
$1.00 to each guy ($3)
$2.00 to bellboy

So

$9.00 each guy to Hotel ($27)
$2.00 to bellboy

27+2=
Total $29.00

Where's the other dollar, they started with $30.oo didn't they?
