um, what?
Three guys are staying in a hotel and decide to order a pizza from room service. The delivery boy brings it up and tells them that they're bill is $30.00 even. Each guy pays the delivery boy $10.00 each and the delivery boy goes on his way. When he goes down to the cashier, he's told that there was a mistake and the guys should've been charged $25.00, not $30.00. So the delivery boy is given 5 $1 bills and told to go back up to give the guys back their money.
On the way up, the delivery boy realizes that he didn't get a tip and decides to keep 2 dollars since the guys wouldn't be able to split 5 $1 bills evenly. When he gets up to the room, he explains the situation to the guy that answers the door and gives him the 3 dollars.
Since the guys originally gave him $10.00 each and got $1.00 back, they each paid $9.00.
$9.00 times 3 is $27.00.
The delivery boy kept $2.00.
$27.00 plus $2.00 is $29.00.
Where is the remaining dollar??????????
that was the bonus question on my Social Problems final for the most part, it's not word for word cuz my memory isn't that good, question marks and all, lol.
But seriously, what? i don't. Does that boggle the mind or am i just stupid and sleep deprived??
anyway, i put "in the delivery boy's pocket" as my answer, lmao cuz i really couldn't figure it out and he was like, "don't let the bonus question eat your brain, you either see it or you don't" lol, seriously, he said "eat your brain". he bumped up to my "favorite teachers ever" list just for that, lawls. XD
anyway, if anyone knows the answer, plz to be informing me. it's gonna drive me crazy otherwise. D:
