The manager says to the assistant "they are only students,knock £5 off the price
the assistant puts £2 in his pocket and tells the students that there is a reduction of £3
So the students pay £9 each and the assistant pockets £2
Total= £29
What happened to the other pound

The students each paid £6 cash and funded the remainder though a credit fund running at 13.25% interest per year. The assistant pocketed £2 and placed a promissary note for £4.15 to himself in the cash register to collect later. The manager had a hangover after the staff Christmas party, so was too slow to make anything on the deal.
If the missing pound then turned up in a child's ear during a magic show, what's the effect on the latest price of bananas in Jamaica?

so 3 students pay £9 each.
3 x £9 = £27.00
The assistant pockets £2.00.
Where did he get the £2.00 from then. if he took it from the students money then there is now £25.00 remaining.
|How much was the cost of the telly in the first place. ????
What other pound are you talking about.
I fail to see how this question makes sense.
I think you missed some bits out.

So the students pay 9.
9 X 3=18
20-18= 3
The three dollars left over are the dollars are the three knocked off the price, not the two the assistant pocketed.
The two that are pocketed are already figured into the price paid since they are already not given back to the students.

there s no other pound
3students £9 each = £27
Assistant took £2
So last price is £25 (27-2)
manager's price is (30-5) =£25

Very cheap telly - £27 + £5 = £32 ?
and your math seems to be lacking in
some sort of ability! And your logic is a bit dodgy!

You haven't mentioned it. Three nines is twentyseven. If the assistant ony pockets two quid, he's a ******* idiot.

The puzzle would make more sense if you told us the starting price.
