so these three guys went to rent a hotel for a night for $30 so they split it up and paid him $30 and the manager made a mistake and it was $25 not $30. So he gave the boy $5 back to give the guys, the boy stole $2 and gave $3 back to the guys, so its like they paid $9 ea right?
9+9+9 = 27 + 2 = 29 Where did the other $1 go?

So he gave the boy $5 back to give the guys, the boy stole $2 and gave $3 back to the guys, so its like they paid $9 ea right?It isn't like they paid 9 dollars each, because they never got the other two dollars. All three guys are missing 66 cents. The boy has them. Soo, it isnt like they paid 9 each, its like they paid 9.33 each currently, only because the boy has 2. Heres the math Ill use variable abbrevs. Guy 1 is A Guy 2 is B Guy 3 is C Manager is D Boy is E ok the start is a=10, b=10, c=10, d=0, e=0 next a=0,b=0,c=0,d=30,e=0 then a=1,b=1,c=1,d=25,e=2 So actually, a+b+c+d+e=30 They did not each pay 9 dollars even though they got 3 back because the boy has 2. The manager and the guys have a total of 28 together, split in 3 is 9 and a third. 9 and a third multiplied by three plus two (9.33 * 3 + 2) is equal to 30, not 29. So one dollar is not actually missing, because the guys didnt actually only pay 9 dollars each when they got the three dollars back, they paid 8.33 each only because the boy has 2 and the manager has 25.

You're an effing moron
Manager has 25 dollars left. Kid 1 keeps 2 dollars, so has 2 USD left, and gets another dollar when dividing Kid 2 gets 1 dollar from dividing Kid 3 gets 1 dollar from dividing 25+2+1+1+1= 30 Or from your side 9 + 9 + 7= 25

Doomy Wrote:9+9+9 = 27 + 2 = 29 9+9+9 represents how much was paid. The 3 men end up paying $27 and getting screwed out of $2 (that the boy stole). $27-$2 = $25, the total amount the men should have paid. The $1 didn't go anywhere.. you just can't add 2.
