3 people go to the marriot hotel.
the room is 30$, so each pay 10$
while they walk to their room, the bellhop brings them 5$ back, because the room was discounted to 25$.. The bellhop keeps 2$ for his efforts and gives 1$ each to the people.
so each person pays 9$.
9$x3= 27$ + 2$ (the bellhop took) doesn't equal 30$..
where did the dollar go?
yes yes.. you can work this backwords very easily.. and prove each person pays 8.33.. but what is the problem in the wording above?
thanks-Lee
