    Riddle I need help with

    Three 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?

      Word trick.
      25 is kept in the register.
      5 is given to bell hop to return and keep 2 for himself.
      1+1+1+2=5 25+5=30

      There is no missing dollar

            Yep. The three women actually paid $9.33 apiece and the filthy thief of a bellhop walked away with $2.

              Wrong. The women paid $9 apiece and the bellhop was gifted $2 by his manager.

                    The women paid $9 each- $27 total. $2 went to the bellhop and $25 went to the cash register.

                      Women now paid $27. Hotel kept $25. Bellboy kept $2. 27 = 25 + 2

                              Sounds like democrat math. They must have waited until 3:00 AM when no one else was watching to count the money.
