Question: Math is wrong!.!.!.not really riddle!?

if 3 people pay $10 each for a hotel room that is $30

but today is super deal tuesday so the room is actually $25

a busboy is given the task of returning 5 one dollar bills to 3 men

the busboy keeps $2 to make it easier

each man is given $1 therefor they each paid $9 instead of $10

3 men paying $9 is $27!.!.!.the busboy has $2

add up the money men have $3 busboy has $2 and the hotel has $25

Answers:
this riddle is meant to trick you so that you do the math wrong!. In truth, they didn't pay $9!. They all paid $10!. But they think that they paid $9 because that is what they got back, even though they didn't each pay $9!.
It makes you think that they did though!.
the math is: $30 is paid!. $3 is given back!. $2 is kept!. that equals $25, which is the price of the room!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Allow me!.

Each man paid $9 for a total of $27!. You then say the busboy has $2!. But that is included in the $27!. When you say each man paid $9, what you're saying is, they each have a dollar, and the other 9 has gone to the hotel, either to the busboy or the cash register!.

The mistake is when people say 9x3 is 27 and then add the busboy's $2 when it's already counted in the $27!.

Hope that makes sense!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

they pay 30, the manager gives back 5

the busboy gives each man 1 and keeps 2

so its 30 - 5 = 25
3 + 2 = 5

which accounts for all the moneyWww@Enter-QA@Com

yeah like u said the men EACH have $3 and the busboy has $2 and the hotel has $25 dollars so $3 + $2 + $25 = $30 maby u were thinking to hard on the questionWww@Enter-QA@Com

each man didn't pay 9, they payed 8!.3 each sooo

"each man paid $8!.3 which means they payed $25 all together and the busboy got to keep $2!.!.!.that is only accounting for $30"

"also! if the group payed $25 and they have three $1s and the busboy has $2 that is $30!.!.!.so uh!.!.!.maybe im just off my rocker!.!.!.hope someone can help me!.!.!.without attitude"

Basically, 25 divided by 3 is 8!.3 so when the busboy "kept 2" to make it "easier" is kinda screwed things up, but there is no evil math warlock stealing decimals here!. jk, but yes its 8!.3 not 9 each!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
