Can you solve this Riddle?

Question

Three men stop at a motel for the Night. The Desk Clerk tells them the Room is $30.00. So each man gives $10.00 then goes to the Room. The Desk Clerk realizes he made a mistake, the Room is only $25.00. So he tells his assistant take $5.00 back to the men. on the way he wonders how to divide $5.00 between 3 people so he decides to give each man $1.00 and keep $2.00.

Now with each man getting back $1.00 that means they spent $9.00 each. 9 x 3 = $27.00 the assistant kept $2.00 that's $29.00.

What happened to the other Dollar?

Answer 1

nothing happeed to the dollar, it is still there...
They initally paid $10 each right
but in reality, they paid $8.34 and the bell-hop took $2

3 times 8.34 = $25


$25 for the room
3 in change given to the saleguys
____
$27
+ 2 pocketed
___
$30

so it is all there

an oldie but a goodie

Answer 2

Well, nothing happened to the other dollar! 'Your calculation is wrong, man!

You are right when you say that they spent $27.00 altogether, but the two dollars that the assistant kept are included in the $27.00 dollars therefore by adding the $3.00 that were given back to the three men, the amount is back to $30.00.

Took years to find this out!!! (good one though!!) = P

Answer 3

They spent 27; the house kept 25; and the assistant got 2 -- where's the other $3? (lol)

Answer 4

They initally paid $10 each.
In reality, they paid $8.34. But the bell-hop took $2.

3 * 8.34 ~ $25


$25 for the room
3 in change given to the saleguys
+ 2 pocketed
----------
$30

no money lost

Answer 5

the math in the 2nd part is flawed. The 30 dollars is subtracted by 5, not 25 added by 5. The money is all their.

Answer 6

Each person should get back $1.66 insted of which each gets only $1. The extra money the assistant pockets.

Answer 7

$2.00 clerk keeps
$3.00 refund
$25.00 room
$30.00 total

Answer 8

I hate math!
