Can you figure this out?

[CABLEGUY1]

If you do figure it out or already know the answer just say you know it. Please do not post the answer until tomorrow so a few others can have a chance to figure it out.Thanks.



 
3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL.
THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30,
SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM. 


A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED
THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25,   SO HE
SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS'
ROOM WITH $5.

ON THE WAY, THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT
HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN,
SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND
KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.


THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM,
WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $ 27,
ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29. 

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

[predatorracer8]

its tomorrow so lets here the answer

[Mudneck]

Need to figure the math in correct order

[FastestCub305]

Umm 25+3+2=30...When they calculated 27 that was adding the 2 that the bellboy kept?Or is their something else.POST THE ANSWER PLEASE IM GOING CRAZY

[lil fat rider]

well i googled it its tomorrow so i can say the answer right?

It's simple and just a play on order.

There is no missing dollar.

$25 stayed at the desk
$3 went back to the men
$2 went to the bellboy.

That's still $30 no matter how you slice it.

[trx#9]

they added instead of subtracting the final 2 dollars. It was just a trick!

[NYRAPTOR]

i still hate cats!

[bignickwaite]

damn it i still dont get it

The men each paid US$9 for the room or US$27 total. The hotel got US$25 and the bellboy got US$2. 25 + 2 = 27. It's a trick question and the 30 is not the goal. Or you can say each man initially paid US$10 and had US$1 returned to them. 30 - 3 = 27 = 25 + 2.

I have two answers going through my head. The first would be the bellboy recieved a $1 tip. The other is more mathematical, so I'll wait for the true answer.

Ummmm, why are you people still wondering? Read my post again. It's extremely simple.

That was my second thought actually.

The statement "THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM"  is a false statement.  25 divided by 3 is not 9 it is 8.34  This is where the confusion is.

Screw the pizza boy, send the paper boy. He never stops until he gets his two dollars.

 He's just telling you $27, he says $3.00 was returned, that equals 28, not 27. You have to listen closely!!
