Can you answer this?!


Question:

Can you answer this?

Ok there were 3 friends. They each pitched in to pay for one motel room. They paid $10 each. The room was $30. But when the night manager came, he realized the room was only $25. So he sent his employee up to the room to refund 5 dollars. The first man said you can't divide 5 dollars for 3 people. So the second man suggested that each man gets back 5 dollars and give the employee 2 dollars back.

Ok so let's recap.
Each man paid 10 dollars, but got one dollar back.
That means they paid 9 dollars each.
9 x 3 = 27. 27 dollars
Plus the two dollars they gave the employee
27 + 2 = 29. 29 dollars.
Where did the other dollar go?


Answers:

It didnt go anywhere, its just how you word it. Each man gave $9, plus the 3 that they got back. 9 x 3 = 27, + 3 equals $30.
