Its simple, total they pay $27, the $2 retained by bellboys. total room rent of guys is $25 & $2 retained by bellboys therefore total expense is $27.

Answer is very clear

Room Rent $ 25
Kept by Bell Boy $ 2

Total Expenses $ 27

3 men $ 1 each $ 3

Room Rent $ 25

Returned to
3 men $ 1 each $ 3

Now 3 men paid 27$ Motel front desk person received 25$ &2& kept bell boy

The $25 goes to manager, $2 goes into bellman pocket and $3 goes back to customers. Thats total $30 as actual.

Now if Manager discount $5 now total is not $30 so why we need to sum up for $30?

In this new case we have to sum up for $25.
Look, each man was given $1 back, means they paid total $27. The bellboy kept $2 for him self from customers’ amount so raiming $25 was gone to manager’s pocket.

I think no confusion!

The Guys paid $27 (Paid $30 – $3 received back) and the management have $27 ($25 with manager + $2 with bellboy) so there in no other dollar any where.

you should add the 2 dollars left with the bellboy not the 3$ given back

25 is rent,
3 get back
2 hold belboy
Total 25+3+2=30

simple, hehehehehehehehehe

Hey,,

It was 30$ and became 25
30$ – 3 for the men = 27$

27$ – 2 with the boy = 25

25$ is the lease of the room

Thank you

it is a trick to round off decimal .
you told each member give 9 it is not 9 it is 9.333…
if you ad both three time .333.. then you find it is 1 Dollar and total amount paid by guest is (8.333… * 3) =28 (not 27)

Think in this way–
Actual room’s rent -$25
hence actual amount one paid to manager –$8.33 (not $9)—–>$25
next they got $3($1 each) +$03
rest $2 with belly man +$02
——-
=$30
——-

10 +10 +10 = 30 &
-1 -1 -1 = 3 &
______________________________
9 +9 +9 = 27 $
the Boy 2
______________________________
29

How ?????????????????????

room rent =25
return money=3
bellman held=2
Total=$30

the other one is gone no where..
man behind desk has: $25
Bellboy has : $2
the Men have : $3
Total= $30

the guys pay the rent $25 and $3 they got back $2 bellboy has in his pocket so it mean,
$25 room rent
$3 they got back
$2 bellboy pocket
$30 total. simple

The actual rent paid is $25, which means every man paid $8.3333 (25/3) and not 9 as per question.
so
Rent $25 + Return $3 + Bellboy $2 = 30

Mathematic not Magic

25$ Room rent
+ 3$ TO 3 Men
+ 2$ TO BellBOY
= 30$ The actuel paying
WHERE IS THE PROBLEM

3 guys paid 25 .
and 2 for the bellboys.
and 3 was the return.
so the total expens incurred by them was;
25 (rent)+2 (bellboy)= 27 total ,so
27 / 3= 9
The nine the total costs paid by the3 guys including the bellboy expens
and the return was 1 to each
however we cant count the cost of the bellboy sepratly.

they pay 30$
manager keep 25$
its mean every one pay rent 8.3333333
they got 3$ back
total 28$
waiter got 2$
total 30$
whats the Hell?

There no other dollar remains.
look the three guys paid 30 dollars.
they got back 3 dollars so there remain 27 from which 2 dollars was with the bellboy and 25 with the man behind the desk so there no other dollar remain.
in short it is us under :
25 rent 2 bellboy 3 return . so it is 30 again .

This is a nice mathematical trick which fools most of the people as the mistake is not in calculation but it is in the logic.

When you breakdown the $30 you should add back the $3 dollars returned to the three men not the $2 dollars given to the boy and this will give you the full $30. Infact the $2 is already part of the $27 forming part of the actual expendure by the three men and will never be added again.

Total expense is $27. $25 for the rent and $2 for the bellboy. Whats the problem. There is no question of the other dollar at all.

When he return the amount $ 3 it is deducted from $ 30, but when he keep $ 2 with him, you add it into $ 27 instead of subtraction. so we subtract $ 2 also from $ 27 as we above subtracted $ 3 from $ 30.
Thanks

I will ask bell boy to take back three dollars and from three idiots and let 5 dollar share betweek desk boy and bell boy.

Sharief

x=3 c = 2 , y = 30 , z = 25 ,

y = c+x+z , it is quite simple … however it will be more complicated if you use multiplication , because the whole equation will change making Y = 29.

here are the few forms of the equation

c=y-z-x ( 2=30-25-3 )
x=y-z-c ( 3=30-25-2 )
z=y-x-c ( 25=30-3-2 )

PS , I hate maths.

the amount collected = $ 30
the actual rent = $ 25
the refunded amount = $ 5
what the gays got = $ 3
then the actual expended = 25 rent + 2 bellboy = 27
that means there is no dollar missing since the total = 27+3 = 30

I took this extra dollar hehehe
i think those guys already solved it

Are you all serious?

So many answers and still people writing solutions?

LoL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111oneoneone

pff so easy
u shouldnt add the 2 dollars kept with the boy to the 27 so it would equal 30.

u should subtract it from the 27 so it would be 25.
the sum of the money the desk man gave it to the boy.

Lease $25
Add:Man $3
Boy $2
___________________
Total=$30

Simple

Do u think that I have to reply??
They solved it already!
The answers must stop right now!!!

The Men paid 10 dollars each=30
The Owner realised rate of the room is 25 usd so 30-25=5usd
He gave it to the waiter ……Waiter wondered how to split it so he gave 1 usd to each and pocketed 2usd for himself.
Hence Now each of the guys paid 9 dollars for the so 9X3=27
So the question is 27 for the room and 2 for the waiter so where is the 1 usd

27 for the room according to the guys but actually 25 for the room in reality
So 25 for the room 1 dollar to each of the guys and 2 for the waiter
25+1+1+1+2=30

Ha Ha..!! Very Funny..!!

When The $2 Dollars Go Back To The Three Stooges The $27 Dollars Get Reduced Instead Of Being Incremented..!!

So $25.. Not $27.. Because It’s $2 Dollars Off The Total they Paid.. Not What They’re Owed..!!

Quite Wordy..!!

Thanks..!!

i think i agree with the answers of Syed Shahid Naqv and Asif they make sense to me, because my answer is smiler to them

It is a math error…. not magic

the 3 men consumed 27 $ and it must be 25$ not 30 $ .so the right eq must be who took the 2$ the answer is the boy
i.e, the 3 men paied 2 $ excess

hehe very funny but smart ppl can’t be fooled lol
each of the 3 men payed $9 to the hotel is $27 and the hotel receives $25 and $2 for the bell boy so it is like this
25+2=27

hotel got 27 (25 in recption and 2 in bell boys pocket) customers got 3 equals 30 only the wording of what happens confuses what happens

Actually each man paid 27 dollers while they ought to pay only 25 dollers – the question is about 2 dollers not one as misleaded – now hte $2 is already kept with the un honest bell boy .

the other $ is 25th $ which is with the man behind the desk.

simply, you should substitude the 2$ not adding them!!
as they paid 9+9+9 = 27, and the room cost is 25, they may be considered to pay 2$ for the boy then it is 25$ + 2$ then it is the 27$. Simple

It is complicate if you take the Question to solve the problem ,but on other hand it is simple. How ? Room rent is $ 25 + $ 3 to the tenants and $ 2 to bellboy.

That silly conflict!!!!! I hated it since a taxi driver told it to me, it’s wrong not the dollar because you should – 2$ not +.
30$ in cash
5$ to bellboy
= 25$ in cash
+ 2$ with the bellboy
= 27$
+ 3$ with the three men
= 30$ ———————— COOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT 10000%
so DON”T JUST THROW SILLY JOKES AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!

since room rent is 25$ n 3$ have been paid back, so total amount becomes 28$ and 2$ of bellboy make total 30$…… very simple.

coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

………..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

The right analysis is: they paid 27 $ (25$ to the hotel) in addition to 2$ have been taken by the Bellboy. Clear

So there is no shortage by 1 $.
9+9+9=27 $ divided by 25 as accommodation, 2 $ to the Bellboy,

It’s so simple so easy, isn’t it?

Eman A. Rasheed

They paid $28 as
1.they already paid $25
2.Then Got back $3 frm waiter
3.Recieved by waiter $2
4.Total=waiter+men
30=28+2

its simple d 3 men paid $30……
hotle receptionist passed $5 to dem in which d waiter kept $2 n gave bck $3 so the equation is………..

$25 from receptionist + $3 from 3 men + $2 frm d bell boy = $30

the three men totally paid $25 and the bellboy gave every one $1 , so the total will be $28 + the $2 with the bellboy = $30

dont add the $2 of the billboy rather subtract as it is the part of 27 they paid. and 27 + 3= 30 ok

y does everi1 need 2 rite exactly da same anser??????????????????????????? i agree wiv every1

That silly conflict!!!!! I hated it since a taxi driver told it to me, it’s wrong not the dollar because you should – 2$ not +.
30$ in cash
5$ to bellboy
= 25$ in cash
+ 2$ with the bellboy
= 27$
+ 3$ with the three men
= 30$ ———————— COOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT 10000%
so DON”T JUST THROW SILLY JOKES AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!

IN the $25!!!
