Fun question. Why does 29=30?!


Question: 3 people go to a hotel and request a room. The rate is $25 a night, plus a $5 deposit. $30 total divided amongst the 3 individuals = $10 apiece. At check out the bell hop looks at the $5 dollar return of the deposit and decides that the best way to handle the situation is to stick $2 in his pocket and return $1 to each of the individuals that rented the room. $2+$1+$1+$1=$5. So now the three individuals that had spent $10 apiece received $1 back. Each only spent $9. $9 * 3 individuals = $27. Plus the $2 the bell hop took = $29.

$29=$30.

I know it's probably American taxes.LOL

Why is this math wrong?

the math is wrong because the people didn't pay $9. they paid the desk $25 & the bellhop's $2. that $27 plus the 3 they got back is the original $30.

order of operation, you only made it seem like the dollar disappeared, but you can't fool me! :P

according to my calculations... 27= 92-1284+920192 which equals a fraction of 10273 which goes to be 921 divided by 21 which gives you a number of $29.300394893029483129

You said the bellhop took 2. but they each got back 1. so since there is 3 individuals, 1+1+1=3 and 27+3=30 (:

Math was done wrong... It shall be $(28/3) the actual payment of the 3 persons. And the other 2 bucks were at the employee pocket.

WHAT THE HELL! IT WAS BECAUSE OF AMERICAN TAXES. LOL!!! :P

in the mathematics, they divide by three, but there will still be 0.333333 missing from each, and the total is 0.33333+0.3333+0.333333= 1$
