# men go to a hotel and get 1 room for a business trip. The room cost $30. They each pay $10. The 3 men go to their room and then cashier realizes the had a discount for usin a credit card. The cashier tells the employee to bring the $5 discount to the men. The employee realizes you can split $5 in to 3 parts so he keeps $2 and gives each man a dollar. Since each man recieved $1 they only spent $9. 3 x $9(3 for 3 men)= $27+$2(the money the employee took)=$29. What happened to the 30th dollar?

3 people = 30$ per room
Each paid 10$
Discount was 5$
so each paid 25/3 = 8.33 $
and the employee took 2$
If they had shared these 5 $ , each would get 1.66 $.
So, (8.33 + 1.66)= 9.99( approx 10)
So, there is no missing dollar.
and it is not 9$ that each of them pay but 9.33$ that each of them paid and so it sums up to ( 9.33 X 3) + 2 =30 $

Total money $30.
$25 - cost of room
$3 - returned (out of $5)
$2 - tip for belloboy/ employee
-----
$30

No missing dollar.
Each man spent $9, equaling $27, which is cost of room + $2 for employee.

since the room is $30
they got $5 back and they split with the employee..
balance should be $25 ... so.. theres no money missing...
$25+5=$30.... ...:)
