Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 ****Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????**** Ed.... The hotel owner gave back $5.00, leaving a bill of $25.00 and not $30.00. The bell man gave back to each person $1.00 out of the $5.00. So the Hotel owner got $25.00... yet the men paid $27.00 for the room. The bellman took the extra $2.00.... You add the $25.00 paid to the hotel owner plus the $2.00 to the bellboy and you get $27.00 - No lost dollar! Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
