Topic: The missing dollar | |
---|---|
Three men decided to split the cost of a hotel room. The hotel manager
gave them a price of $30. The men split the bill evenly, each paying $10, and went to their room. However, the hotel manager realized that it was a Wednesday night, which meant the hotel had a special: rooms were only $25. He had overcharged them $5. He called the bell-boy, gave him 5 one-dollar bills and told him to return it to the men. When the bell-boy explained the situation to the men, they were so pleased at the honesty of the establishment, that they promtly tipped the bell-boy $2 of the $5 he had returned and each kept $1 for himself. So, each of the 3 men ended up paying $9 (their original $10 minus $1 back) totalling $27 plus $2 for the bellboy makes $29. Where did the other dollar go? |

$9.00 dollars each is $27.00. take away the 2 dollars for the bell boy
gives you $25.00(cost of the room). so $27.00 + the $3.00 they got back would + $30.00. |
