Three kids each contribute $10 to purchase a $30 cd player. (This is in Oregon; no sales tax.) After they leave, the store owner realizes the item is marked down to $25. He hands five singles to his clerk and tells him to run out and reimberse the kids. The clerk catches up with the kids, but he is less than honest, and besides, you can't divide 5 by 3. So he gives them 3 dollars and pockets the remaining 2. Now each kid has paid $9, for a total of $27, and the clerk has 2, making $29. We started out with $30, what hapened to the last dollar?
first to answer correctly will get best answer.
good luck!
