Three guys go into a hotel wanting to rent a room.
The owner tells them he has 1 room available and will rent it to them for $30.00 a night.
"Ten Dollars Each" Right?

Later in the day, The owner realizes that he overcharged them. He gives the bellboy "Five Dollars" and tell him to give it to the guys in room 810

On the way up the elevator, The bellboy decides that there is no way to split 5 dollars equally amoung 3 people. So he keeps "Two Dollars" and then, he gives them each a dollar back.
So, They each paid "Nine Dollars for the room Right?

3 X 9 = 27 and the 2 the bellboy kept = 29

Where did the other dollar go?

i dunno. you tell me.

its with the bell boy.

the manager.

The math is wrong here. Should be:

$25/3 = $8.333 each. Not $9 each. So...

3 X $8.334 = $25. The lost dollar is in the fraction that wasn't included.

Thank you !! Heard it before,couldn't remember exactly how it went.

30.00 - 5.00 = 25 3.00 back makes 28.00 2.00 to bellboy.............

Two coins face value = $.30 and one of them is not quarter, what are the coins?

a qarter and a dime. we are ripe with money riddles tonight, no?

One of them is not a quarter...the "other" one is....

Yeah, quarter and nickel, that was easy - I figured. different riddle? no coins?

$25 (hotel) + $2 (bellboy) + $3 (men) = $30.
