Three salesmen went into a hotel to rent a room. The manager stated that he had only one room left, but all three could use it for $30.00 for the night. The three salesmen gave him $10.00 each and went up to their room. Later, the manager decided that he had charged the salesmen too much so he called the bellhop over, gave him five one-dollar bills, and said: 'Take this $5.00 up to the salesmen and tell them I had charged them too much for the room'.
On the way up, the bellhop knew that he could not divide the five one-dollar bills equally so he put two of the one-dollar bills in his pocket and returned one one-dollar bill to each of the salesmen.

This means that each salesman paid $9.00 for the room.
The bellhop kept $2.00.
Three times nine is 27 plus two is 29.......

The Question: What happened to the extra dollar?

[HMUSN]

there was no extra dollar.
2 different math equations is all..

[shadow5403]

yes

explain the correct math though.

[HMUSN]

30 -5 = 25.

5 dollars left.
3 men.
bell hop pockets 2.
3 dollars left.
bellhop gave each man a dollar.
no money left.
end of equation one.
________________________________
equation 2
divide $5 between 3 men.

bell hop pockets $2.00 and give each man a single dollar.
no money left.
end of equation 2.


2 different equations and no extra dollar.

There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?
