math ppl, i dont care if this is really obvious, but tell me the answer
Three guys go into a hotel and a room for all three of them costs $25 a night.
They only need to stay for one night.
They dont want to split $25 into 3, so they each pay $10 and go up to their room.
The hotel owner doesnt want to keep their $5 change, so he sends a bell boy up to their room to give it to them.
The bell boy doesnt want to split $5 into 3, so he keeps $2 and gives each of them $1.
Now each of them, after getting their change payed $9. $9 x 3 is $27, + the bell boy's $2 is $29.
Where is the last dollar?
