3 guys go for a motel

everyone pays 10 $ to the assistant of the motel owner and take their room

Motel owner comes in and sees the money and tells the assistant, you took 5 $ extra money

He gives 5 $ to the assistant to give it back to the men

The assistant has been a :troll: , He put 2 $ in his own pocket and gives 3 $ to the renters

so, the renters actually have paid 9 $ and the assistant took 2 $:

(3 x 9) + 2 = 29 $

Where is that 1 $ ?? :D

Nope, you're trying to make the reader square-off to 30 (one needs to instead square off to 25 = the actual rent, not the gross total.)

(30 - 3) - 2 = 25 $

just rounding makes 1 disappears

(30-2) = 28

28 / 3 = 9.3333333333333333333333333333333

each renter just paid 9.3333333333333333333333333333333

10 - 9.3333333333333333333333333333333 = 0.66666666666666666666666666666667

0.66666666666666666666666666666667 * 3 = 2

2 is the tip given to the helper <_<

9.3333333333333333333333333333333 * 3 = 27.999999999999999999999999999999

27.999999999999999999999999999999 + 2 = 29.999999999999999999999999999999

30 - 29.999999999999999999999999999999 = 0.000000000000000000000000000001

Now where did that -0.000000000000000000000000000001 went? :blink:

The helper is very smart! He always finds a way. hehe! :rofl:

Merry Xmas everyone! :)
