see if you can figure this out
 

3 ladies pay $30 total $10 each for 1 room, they go to the room the clerk realizes she overcharged by $5, sends the bellboy with the money he can't break it evenly so he pockets $2 and gives each of them $1 back if you add that up where did the other $1 go?

i added up and i come to thirty. maybe the clerk was drunk or something ? ;)

yeah, it worked for me, i dont get messed up by word problems.

my friend said 9x3=27 and plus the bell boys 2 only mkaes 29.

he is right, but 25+2+1+1+1=30 :crazy:

i know, he added the 2 bucks in the wrong spot.

Bell boy = 2$
Girls = 3$

It looks like its all there to me..
