Originally posted by AntlerCollector View PostThree women rent a hotel room. Hotel clerk charged them $30. They each pay $10 each. The clerk realized he overcharged them. Cost was $25. He sent the bellhop to return the $5. Well the bellhop decides he can’t split $5 three ways so he pockets $2 and gives $1 back to each of the women. That means the women ended up only paying $9 each for a total of $27. The bellhop kept $2. That totals $29.
What happened to the other dollar?
So, as we already know, they paid $25 for the room, $2 for the tip, and got back $1 each totaling $30.

$30 paid - $3 given back is your $27. Less the $2 in the hop’s pocket gets you to $25, which is what the manager has in the register. Adding $2 is the trick of the riddle and has no place in the math.
