THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29!. WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Nothing happened to the dollar!. All the money is still there!. Yes, they each ended up paying $9 each for a total of $27!. Plus the $3 they got back is a total of $30-it's all there!. They were supposed to pay $25 but they paid $27, which makes sense because the bellhop kept $2!.

Charges: $25 for the room + $2 for the bellhop=$27 $30 initial charge - $3 refund = $27 Each paid $9 and $9 x 3 = $27

The trick is in the statement, "The three men had now paid $9 each, or a total of $27!. This plus the $2 the bellhop kept for himself makes a total of $29!."

The $27 is the total payment and $2 is a cost, not a payment! It just happens to add up to $29 giving the illusion of a missing dollar!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

there is no extra dollar, the math is worded wrong!.

the men paid $27, $25 to the desk & $2 to the bellhop, that $27 plus the $3 they got = the original $30Www@Enter-QA@Com

the 3 men paid 30 dollars
10 10 10
sent up 5 so they paid
25
and had 5 extra
the bellboy took 2
5-2=3
so the 25 they paid + the 3 extra = 28
so if you add the amount the bellboy took 28-2
it equals 30
so, THERE IS NO MISSING DOLLARWww@Enter-QA@Com

you have to substract the 2 dollars of the bellboy, not to add them!.!.!.
each men paid 9 in total 27, but it was 25 what they had to pay, so the extra dollars went to the belboyWww@Enter-QA@Com

There is no dollarWww@Enter-QA@Com

i forgot this answer, I know what part of the story you messed up, i just forgot itWww@Enter-QA@Com

(original sequence of NO!.'s) 30-5=25, 25+3=28, 28+2=30!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

ok!.!.!.sooo!.!.

the men pay $30 (each man paying $10!.)
the man each recieves $1 dollar in return!. (totaling 3 dollars)
the bellboy keeps $2

the real cost of the room was $25 (so inactuality they only needed to pay $25)

$30 that they payed - $5 that was owed back to them + $3 that they had + $2 the bell boy kept = $25 that the men paid for the roomWww@Enter-QA@Com

Its all in the addingWww@Enter-QA@Com

There is no extra dollar!.
This is almost like finding out you have 11 fingers instead of 10!. The principal is the same only with different numbers!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The problem with this is the last sentence gives you misinformation!. If your saying they paid 9 each for the room your already including the 2 that went to the bellboy then they each got one back that's three!. So it's 27 plus three not 27 plus 2 since 27 already includes the 2!.
Check this out now! Very FUNNY!
