MATH TWISTER - drive yourself crazy with this one

3 girls go on vacation together and get a room in a cheap motel. The room cost is $30.00 Each girl pays $10.00 a piece. 10 x 3= 30 After they get to their room, the manager notices that they weren’t given the special rate of the day ($25.00) and instructs the bellhop to take them their $5.00 change. On the way to the room he figures he can’t split the $5.00 evenly between the three girls, so opts to keep $2.00 for himself and only give the girls $3.00 back as change (I.E.$1.00 per girl) That means that each girl has now paid $9.00 a piece for the room 9x3=27 plus the $2.00 the bellhop kept for a tip = $29.00 WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER DOLLAR???

Wouldn't it be nice to only have to pay $30 for a hotel room for 3 people just once? Haha.

This is a problem that is usually used to show the flaws in the mathematical system.

That is correct. It's all about how we sequence the equation. But I tell ya...this one had me scratching my head for the longest time. haha I was like...o.k. they each paid 10 and now they've paid 9 and he kept 2 and that does equal 29......grrrrr where's that stinkin' dollar!!! Let us all hope that those at NASA are as smart as misdarklight.

(10-1)x3+2=29 which means the girls are paying 9 dollars each, when reli they should be paying 8.33 instead. 25/3=8.33(repeater)
