ok. i am stupid. i cant get this after 5mins of thinking n reading. you'll get it if u do it in alternative ways but I cant get it using that calculation method!!!! someone save me!!! i am bothered by this stupid thing. hahaha


Three men went to a motel. The motel manager said a room cost $30, so each man put up $10 and went to their room. A little while later the manager realized the room was only $25, so he sent the bellhop back to the three guys' room with $5. On the way to the room the bellhop couldn't figure out how to split the $5 between the 3 men, so he gave each one of them $1 and he kept the other $2.

This meant that the 3 men paid $9 each for the room for a total of $27. Add the $2 that the bellhop kept = $29.

Where did the other dollar go?
