Riddle!

Well, there seem to be a lot of riddles floating around, I'll add my own!

Three men walk into a hotel, and pay the manager $30 for a room. They 스플릿, 분할 the bill evenly, $10 each person, then they walk up to their hotel room. The manager then realizes that a room only costs $25 due to a sale, so he sends the bellhop to the men's room with $5. The bellhop knows the men couldn't 스플릿, 분할 this up evenly like they intended, so he kept $2 and gave the $3 back to the men. Each man got $1 back, so they each paid $9. 9 times 3 is 27, plus the two dollars the bellhop kept, making $29. Where'd the other dollar go?

Be specific...

No, unless 당신 count the $2 the bellhop kept without them knowing, but they never "gave" him a tip.

당신 have the right idea, it's not exact, but I'll give it to you! Yay! If 당신 want to be really specific, 당신 were supposed to subtract the $2 to make the cost of the room, not the total amount of money, but 당신 still win!

They paid 10 dollars each, right? Then they each got a dollar back, so they each actually paid 9 dollars, a total of 27 dollars. But 2 of those dollars went to the bellhop, so 당신 would subtract that, not add it. That would make 25 dollars, and the other 5 is the money that wasn't paid to the hotel: 1 dollar each that the three men got back, and the 2 dollars the bellhop kept.

technically, the three men paid $27 dollars for the room, $25 for the actual room, and then the $2 the bellhop kept. the bellhop gave back $3 for the 3 men to 스플릿, 분할 evenly and so $27 + $3 = $30.

all in all, there is no missing $1.

it's not missing. the three men didn't pay $27; they only paid $25. the 질문 is missleading because it's asking 당신 to find the total in only 2 of the 3 places.

$25 of the $30 is in the cash register.
the three men have $3 of the $30.
and $2 of the $30 is in the bellhop's pocket.
$25 + $3 + $2 = $30

see, no dollar missing (:
