Unsolvable Math Problem-Solved: It's easy. The desk clerk has 30 for the room discovers the discrepancy and gives the bellhop 5.00. The room is 25.00, the bellhop has 2.00 and gives each of the guys 1.00 or a total of 3.00. No brainer! Where's my winnings!

i will solve it for you. work it backwords: 25 is the price 3 guys pay. 8.33 per dude equals 25. Each guy gets 1 dollar back making them actually pay 9.33 a piece. 9.33 a piece equals 28 dollars plus the bellhops 2 dollars equals 30

The two dollars: that the bellhop took was part of the 27 dollars already so you can't add it again. Therefore you can only add the 3 dollars the men have. $30

LMAo: IF UR GUNNA MINUS 3 DOLLARS.. U HAVE TO MINUS THE 2 DOLLARS ASWELL.. U CANT MINUS THE 3 DOLLARS, THEN GET CAUGHT UP ON THE FACT THAT THE BELLHOP "TOOK" IT AND ADD THE 2 DOLLARS.. ITS STILL THE MENS MONEY U DUMB PEOPLE
lol: this isnt unsolvable its a stupid math error by the writer.. 30$ for room 5$ in rebates.. 3$ for them 2$ for him = 25$ OR LOOK AT IT THIS WAY HOW the room was RREALLLY payed: 8.3$ by each man 3$ by hotel receptionist 2$ by bellhop = 30$ you cant add from 27 cuz thats not what the room costs.. why would you minus the 3 dollars that was given to the guys.. and then add the 2$ given to the guys just because the bellhop took it LMAOO PPL R RETARDED

easy: -$30 $3 = $9 spent by each guy, bellhop stole the extra $2. There is no "other $1"

wat i really want to know is: y are 3 guys getting a hotel room together
easy solve bellhop took 2 that means 28 was paid all up by the guys and by saying 27 was paid by the 3 guys is wrong: thay paid 28.. 25dollars 3 equals 28 not 27 hence divide 28 dollars by 3 and thats the real amount each guy paid not 27 bam i win mofos
@beersy lol: they paid 30 and got 3$ back.. thats 27 lol

REAL EXPLANATION: the total does not need to add to 30. They paid 27 for the room, and the bellhop was able to steel 2 dollars from them. The thing that adds to 30 is 8.3 8.3 8.3 2 3. The amount the hotel got per person, the refund and the money stolen. The fact they they where given 3 back from 30 they spent and the bellhop took 2 doesn't mean there is a difference of 1 dollar.
LMAO: wtf?? its 27$ they ended up payin for the room, which is 30$ - 3$.. 2$ for bellhop.. see they r adding 2 dollars from bellhop to the total to try and arrive at the total of 30$.. wont work dumbases.. its 30 - 3 - 2.. not 30 -3 2? HAHAHA wow thats not even a problem thats just stupidity.. how u wud say it is they paid 25 for the room, and lsot 2 dollars to the bellhop.. making it 27$ (plus 3 dollars in savings).. get it?

the real problem is when the three guy's find out that two dollars is missing and they go to the front desk and beat the crap ou: .

Yea wat were: they gonna do cheap hotel room middle of the night i bet the do not disturb sign was up when the bellhop went back.
MattySA - 2 years ago
um: 25 for the room 2 for the bellhop = 27 = 9x3... they did pay 9 dollars each LOL so if you work it out your way it is 3 guys paid for a 25 dollar room divide by 3 gives you 8.33333 each plus each guys each got a dollar back so its 9.33333 each multiplied by 3 gives you 28 which leaves the bell hops tip :)

Here's the trick: there isn't an extra dollar and no 5/3 is not 1.33 its roughly 1.67. Point is 3 guys payed 9 dollars each for a room which only costs 25 so 3*9=27 and 27-25 = 2 which the bell hop stole and the 3 dollars goes back to the guys to make 1$ each. So what does 27 3 equal children?.... good

I got it: its not really a problem, its just a mistake made by the person giving the problem, you don't add 2 to the 27, you add 3, because 3 represents the amount missing from the complete 30, that the guys were given back.

@Ervin2 perfect: logic
So....: What were the guys planning to do in that hotel room anyway?
dokterew - 2 years ago
@Ervin2 poor logic: to rebut the question I ask not what happened to the $1, but what happened to the $5 given to the bell-hop? it seems to have vanished in the final question

Heres How: First of all at $25 for the room each guys pays $8.33, then they each get another dollar when the bellhop returns which adds up to $9.33 plus the $2 the bellhop stole gets you your $30-simple math
solidstinch - 2 years ago
@CUR12 actually its not: your missing a small fraction
DaveBFD - 2 years ago
this is why idiots arent accountants: You cant mix up debits and credits like that. The 9 dollars each man paid = 27, and the 2 dollars the bellhop kept takes the total payment down to 25 dollars, and voila solved. You are adding when you should subtract.
Ayebeehm - 2 years ago
What they're not telling you is:: $30 total up front $5 returned $2 for bellhop $3 back to guys = $30 bucks. They are trying to confuse you by making you think that you need to multiply 9$ x 3, or Divide 5 by 3. If the bellhop had made it through elementary school, he'd have known to tell them 'Split $1.33 to each of you' and likely they would have let him keep the entire $5. (For being honest, and doing the math for them) The bottom line: The bellhop is a thief and should be fired.

dumb equation: the room is 25 dollars. 3 guys (sketchy) paid 9 = 27 dollars. 27-2 that the clerk took = 25 dollars the price of the new room...
@Forty9er223 that was the smartest approach I have: ever seen anyone take. good sh*t dude
