3 fellas go for a meal.?

Question

The meal costs £10 each. After the meal they give £30 to the waiter who goes to the till with the money. The woman working the till discovers that they have been overcharged and the meal should have cost £25 so she gives the waiter £5 to give back to the fellas. The waiter decides to pocket £2 and gives the fellas £1 each back. This makes the meal cost £9. So that's 3 meals at £9 each which is £27 and the waiter took £2 which makes £29. So where is the missing £1?

Answer 1

you got me.....

Answer 2

There's no missing £1 as the meals cost £25 for 3 not £27?

Answer 3

25 with the 3 = 28 + 2 (taken by the waiter)= 30 nothing is missing

Answer 4

Guess what... I think I know the answer... Remember the actual cost for the food is £25, so per person the cost will be £8.33....but the thing is the waiter gave them back £ 9 per person, that means that he is giving extra £0.33 for each of the fellas...that is why the £1 is gone missing yaa...

Answer 5

There is no missing money. The till woman discovered the meals totaled $25.00 not $30.00 or $27 (as 9 x 3 would make). Nice try!!!!
