Question

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent

Answer 1

done tis qn b4, so i'll jus hv the 2 pts...

Answer 2

Of the $27 dollars spent by the three friends, that includes the $2 kept by the bellhop. Thus, the friends paid $27, the bellhop kept $2 of that, and the $25 went to the clerk for the room.

Answer 3

Each pay $10 for $30 total.
Each get $1 back, making $27 total.
Subtract the $2 the bellhop pocketed and you get the $25 cost of the room.

Answer 4

because that is really dumb.. the 2 dollars was already included in the 27.. so the cost was 27, instead of the original 30

Answer 5

How many fingers do you have? If you start on one hand and count backwards (starting at 10) to the end, the number you stop at is 6. Then if you add the five on your next hand, that makes a total of 11. Do you have 11 fingers? I dont think so.

Answer 6

You subtract the two dollars, not add it. Then if you subtract it, the room cost 25, and the friends got 5 back.
