Three people bought a radio?!


Question: Please help me solve this.
Three people went to a shop to buy a radio for 30$. each one paid 10$. when they left the shop, the owner found out that the radio is 25$ so he sent a boy to return 5$ to them. The boy stole 2$ and gave them 3$.
which means each one had paid 9$ (each one received 1$).
So the total money equal 9 x 3 = 27 $
plus the 2$ which the boy stole = 29$ (not 30$)

where had the 1$ gone?????????????

The 2 Bucks The Kid Stole Should Be Subtracted, 27-2=25
You Added The Boys Total.

this is a very good question. but i think i took it sorry

in their wallets?????

why did they pay 9$?

they paid 10, cuz the total was 30...as the boy stole 2, 3$ remain, which will equally be distributed amongst the three guys, the 9x3 part is to mislead you...

um...i dunno (now vote this ur top answer big boy)

the store keeper kept it.

I've seen this problem before but had to work it out again.
Okay, now the radio's actual cost was $25, but the 3 people only got $3 back (28), and the boy stole $2 (30). Now math=

((9 1/3)*3)+2)=30

Now I know what you are thinking each person paid exactly 9 dollars, where did the 1/3 come from and where did it go. Well it is with the shop. Because the boy stole $2 the cost of the radio between the boy giving them the $3 it cost them $28 not $27.

they think they've paid 27 but they didn't actually do it because the kid stole 2 which makes the keeper with only 25 which is what he really has
or lets take it the other way around
every guy pays 9
the kid takes the money
he has 27
steals 2 and gives the keeper 25 =)
