Question

3 guys go to a hotel, it costs them $30 for one room. So they each pay 10.(10x3=30) As the cashier is about to put the money away, he remembers its Saturday and its only 25 per room. So he grabs 5 one dollar bills, to give back to them. But as he is walking to give it to the 3 guys, he decides since he cant spilt it up evenly he will put 2 in his pocket and give 1 dollar to each of the guys.
So that means each person paid 9 dollars to get a room.
9x3=27, 27 plus the two in the guys pocket equal 29

Were did the other dollar go?

Answer 1

You really wanna know? I'll tell you!

So, a few hours later two women go to the same hotel. The cashier tells them it again costs $30 for the room. They pay and go upstairs and start to unpack. The cashier feels bad because it's late and decides to refund them 5 bucks. As he heads upstairs he realizes that he really doesn't know how to split the money, cause he only took five ones from the drawer. He pockets three dollars and decides to give the girls a dollar back each. So, let's add up.

The women now have only paid $14 each for the room, right?
That's $28. The cashier has $3 bucks in his pocket.

$28 + $3 = $31 !!! Aha! The missing dollar.

Haha, makes me laugh!

Answer 2

It just so happens that that 25 (the cost of the room) + 2 (the pocketed money) = 27, and that the other 3 dollars are given back to the guys

Answer 3

Multiplication and addition are not cumulative. The other dollar is in your mind.
