Math is broke!!!!!!

Three man enter a hotel and ask the clerk for three rooms. They each pay the clerk ten dollars. The clerk gives the money to the manager who said, "here is five dollars. I want you to give one dollar back to each person and keep two for yourself."

Now for the faulty logic. The clerk gave one dollar back to each person. That means each person paid nine dollars. 9 dollars per person x 3 people equals 27 dollars. Twenty seven dollars plus the two dollars the clerk kept equals 29 dollars. Where did the other dollar go?

[coolrunner989]

the manager has 25 dollars - the clerk has 2, and each person has 1(x3) = 30.

you're question is just *****ed up lol

its like me proving I have 11 fingers - counting down one hand: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 plus 5 on the other hand is 11 right?

no think about it, each person paid $9, 9 x 3 = 27, + the tip....the government stole a dollar.

If the three men paid $9 each then $9x3 = $27
If the Manager has $25 and the clerk has $2, then $25+$2 = $27.

Seems OK to me.

30 paid and given to manager
-5 transferred back to clerk
----
25 kept by manager
===

5 held by clerk
-3 $1 to each resident
----
2 kept by clerk
===

Or

30 paid
-3 returned to residents
----
27 balance (=9x3)

-2 kept by clerk
-25 kept by manager
-----
0 balance

Or

10 paid each
-1 refund
----
9 net paid each after refund
x3 residents
---
27 total net paid
+3 refund ($1 each)
---
30 total paid

I'm pretty sure that I *don't* want to see a hotel room you can rent for $9!

when i was in chicago
we rented a hotel room for 75 bucks

and it was one of things where they say "we had a problem with the toilet, so we had to wash the carpet"

translation:

"someone was murdered in there and we had to wash the blood out of the carpet"

either way, we got two doulbe beds for the price of a single single room. and we were 4 ppl. and we got the bonus of "eau de wet carpet"

it was a good night
