math problem help me solve it

IN THE MATRIX

ask killery....

the payer kept it

10x3+3+2 is the actual equation.

1) The three men start out with $10 each ($10 x 3 = $30).

2) The three men pay $30 for a hotel room. Afterwards, a five dollar overcharge is returned to them ($25 + $5 = $30).

3) The cleaning lady divides up the $5 overcharge, returning $1 to each of the three men (for a total of $3) and keeping $2 for himself ($25 + $3 + $2 = $30).

Where did the missing dollar go? Nowhere. A dollar only goes "missing" because the statement "each man paid $9 for the room" is wrong: each of three men paid out a total of $9, but that $9 included both the room charge and the cleaning lady's tip. All in all, each man paid out a total of $9 and had $1 left over, completely accounting for the $30 they started with.

The room cost $25, so each man paid one-third of that cost ($8.33). The cleaning lady kept a tip of $2, so each man paid one-third of that cost ($0.67) as well. Overall, each man paid out $9 ($8.33 + $0.67) for the room and cleaning lady tip and had a dollar left over: (3 x $9) + (3 x $1) = $27 + $3 = $30.

There is no missing dollar; where the "logic" here falls over in your adding the $2.00 to the $27.

Subtract that $2.00 instead and karma is restored.

^ Beat me to it.

Where is the 9 coming from?

They don't have $9. They have $1.

($1 x 3) + ($2 for the cleaning lady) = $5

Old story. Twas three me buying a radio way back then..

Aye................

.333339 cents were paid person for the room.

$30 total, room is $25. (25/3)+(5/3)=(30/3)
Now that we know the room was paid for (25/3) paid out we can set that aside (that is where your answer is). Now we have our (5/3)-(2/3)=1 (both sides are equivalent) there goes the money returned to the men minus the money given to the maid. To find our "missing dollar" we will consider the price of the room per guest (x) 25/3x=0.

X=(25/3).....x=8.33333_

they each spent 9 dollars, so the total they gave for the hotel room to buttfuck each other was 27 dollars. That's 2 dollars more than the bill so they give it to the cleaning lady

It's 27-2 for the 25 paid.. or 1*3 + 2 for the 5 in change

Your friend is confusing you with words.

There is no missing dollar. Only a poorly worded problem. Tell your friend he's an idiot.

How is that even a math problem?

$25 for the room + $2 for the cleaning = $27

They gave 3x $10 = $30

$30-$27= $3 remaining

They are three, so each one gets $1 back.

Bitch plz

Can you rephrase the question

3 friends should have saved up more formed a corporation and
baught a hotel.

you are not subtracting correctly the solution to your miscalculation is that you fail to subtract also the two dollars given to the cleaner and only focus on the 3 dollars given to the 3 individuals and then proceed to calculate as if the hotelblady still has the other 2 dollars which she does not since she refunded 5 dollars initially

Abut here is a story for your amusement... [link to andromeda.rutgers.edu]

room rent 25 dollars
refund 5 dollars
pay cleaner 2 dollars out of 5 dollar refund
remaining 3 dollars towards 3 individuals
equals 30 dollars

Adds up perfectly i see no problem other than your twisted mathematics

in other words

the room rent was not 27 dollars

and the hotel lady did not pay the cleaner out of the 25 dollars room rental income


the 3 individuals also recieved the 2 dollars(which they paid the cleaner with) apart from the 3 dollars they split

not taking the cleaner's 2 dollars into account when the 5 dollar refund is given creates the illusion that each of the 3 individuals each paid 9 dollars for a 25 dollar room instead of 8.33333 each... dollars

That's based on anIncorrect equation..

The guys paid $8.333333333333333 each.

8.333333333333333*2=25

Guy1 = $1
Guy2 = $1
Guy3 = $1
Lady = $2
=5

^^^


oops

8.333333333333333*3=25

and i am a clever prick look at me mom dad....
useless fucking calculations and numbers,
to skull fuk u all day.


smart people destroyed earth.

When my kids were little I used to count their fingers to show them they had 11 and not 10.

Took them a few years to work out what was going on.

Think about it.............

you have to return to each one of them 25/3 dollars
(25/3 each friend) * 3 (numbers of friend) = 25
2 dollar to the cleaning lady = 2
1 each one of them * 3 = 3
-----------------------------------------------
10 dollars for each friend = 30

At $25, their share should be ~$8.33 each.

They chipped in $10 each, received $1 back...meaning, they each 'overpaid' the room charge by 66 cents.

The so-called missing dollar is in that '~66 cents' × 3 that was leftover... given as a tip to the maid.

______
Simply put:

Their refund should have been ~$1.66 each...but they only took $1 back, leaving ~66 cents each for a $2.00 tip.

An even easier explanation!
