The 3 men and money?!


Question: The 3 men and money!?
3 MEN GO INTO A HOTEL!. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30!.00 SO

EACH MAN PAID $10!.00 AND WENT TO THE ROOM!.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25!.00

SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5!.00

ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5!.00 EVENLY

BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1!.00 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2!.00 FOR

HIMSELF!.

THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9!.00 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL

OF $27!.00, ADD THE $2!.00 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29!.00

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
it's how you work it out!.

u can't multiply anything together (for those of you who did $3 x $9!.!.it stuffs it up) everything has to be added or subtractedWww@Enter-QA@Com

You're skewing the numbers!.

The basic idea to its solution is that you should not be adding $27+$2 to get $30 The men are in debt, they have paid thirty dollars!. Then they get five back, so that they have paid $25!. When they tip the bagboy $2, they are then in debt $27, and the bagboy HAS two of those dollars!. So, it is $27 - $2 = $25, which it should be!. The hotel ends up with $25, the bagboy with $2, each man having paid $9, as they should have!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

where is the $25!? in the motel
where is the $2!? in the bellboy
where is the $3!? $1 for each one

TOTAL!? $30

don't confse yourselves with $27, part of it is $25 (of the motel) and $2 (of the bellboy)

$27 + 3 = $30

The desk clerk received $30, gave $5 back to the bellboy, so he has $25!. The 3 men gave away $30 and got $3 back, so they have $3!. The bellboy was allowed to keep $2 for his trouble!. $25 + $3 + $2 = $30!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
