Three men go to a hotel and they are charged $30.00 for a room. Each man pays with a $10.00 bill. After they are in their room the clerk realizes they overpaid so he gave the bellhop five $1.00 bills to give them back. The bellhop decided he would keep $2.00 tip for himself and make it simple and give them each back $1.00 a piece. So the men each get back a dollar, meaning they paid 9 dollars a piece for the room. They paid $27.00 for the room (9x3=27) and the bellhop kept the extra $2.00 for himself to make $29.00. What happened to the extra dollar?
wow. that' s a hard one
ok.

30 was sent to the clerk
the clerk keep 25 (30-5=25)
the bell hop keep 2
and the men keep 3
