Where did the $1 go?

Question

3 friends go to dinner. the dinner is $30. but the manager realizes the dinner is actually $25. he tells the waiter to give the friends back $3. the waiter decides to keep $2. the 3 friends get $1 each. do the math. where did the dollar go?

Answer 1

stolen!

Answer 2

I dont think you said this right. They way you said it, it says that they paid $30 but then actually they should have paid $25 total, so the manager pays back $5, the waiter keeps $2 and then gives back $3. It does add up.

Answer 3

Tax...

Answer 4

You forgot to mention that the 3 each paid 10 dollars

Answer 5

Which particular dollar do you want to know about????

Answer 6

The math is incorrect. If they had been charged $27.00 for the dinner originally, they would have each given the man $10.00, and each received $1 change, making the math problem 9+9+9=27, and 27+3=30, the $3 being the key. Instead, the way the problem reads, it is turned into 27+2=29, which is where the confusion lies. The problem should be $25 (dinner cost) + $2 (what the waiter kept) = $27, and $27 + $3 (the change the three guys received) = $30.

Answer 7

under the table

Answer 8

it flew away.

Answer 9

Dinner            = $25

Waiter            = $2

Friends x 3     = $3

Total           = $30

So what you mean by where the dollar go? LOL

Answer 10
