There r 3 men who paid 30 dollars. (This is a riddle, please help)?

Basically: There is an initial $30 charge.  It should have been $25, so $5 must be returned and accounted for.  $3 is given to the 3 friends, $2 is kept by the manager - there you have the $5.  \n\nThe trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most.  Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay $9, not $10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid $27 for the night.  But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only $25 and when you add the $3 returned with the $2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with $30.

(a)\nC = mx + b\nC = 10x + 40\n(where fixed cost could be due to the cost of the workers or rental of the factory...)\n(The variable cost is the cost required to make 1 item)\n\n(b)\nR = 50x\n(The revenue, money collected, from selling x items is 50x.\nSo if you were to buy 1 item, you would pay $50\nand if you were to buy 3 items, you would pay $150.)\n\nRevenue = Cost\nR = C\n50x = 10x + 40\n50x - 10x = 40\n40x = 40\nx = 40/40\nx = 1\n\nThe selling of 1 item would result in the break-even point.

It didn't go anywhere.  \n\nThey each paid $10 to begin with- that's $30\n\n$25 to the hotel\n\n$2 to the bellhop\n\nthat's $27- which leaves $3 left over as a refund to the original three.\n\nThe questions is misleading becuase you add the $2 instead of substracting it.

ok. there are 3 guys who go on a road trip. they go into the hotel and its $30.00 even for the room. so each guy pays 10.00. (10 x 3 =30)\nwhile they are in the room the checkin girl realizes its only $25.00 for the room. so she grabs 5 one dollar bills and goes up to the room. she realizes that 5 does not divide by 3 evenly. so she taked $2.00 and puts them in her pocket. as she knocks at the door she feels guilty and pulls the $2.00 out of her pocket. they ended up giving her 2 dollars and kept 3. if each guy gets 1 dollar back then instead of 10 they paid 9 each for the room. ( $9 x 3 = 27)\n27 + 2 (tip they gave lady) = $29.00\n\nWHERES THE LAST DOLLAR??????????????

You don't add the 2 dollars to the 27 dollars. The men paid 25 dollars for a pizza and 2 dollars to the boy. That's the 27 dollars.

Is this a joke or a riddle? I'm not sure how to answer this one.

So, let's say the cost of the pizza was 30 quid.  Three mates each payed 10 quid (10*3 = 30).\n\nPizza man found he overcharged by 5 quid (cost should be 25).  He returns 3 (one to each mate) and keeps 2 (3+2 = 5).\n\nThat means the mates payed 9 quid each (10-1 = 9) and 27 total (9*3 = 27).  Add the 2 the pizza man kept and you have 29.  You now have a pound missing.\n\nWrong.  You don't add it to 27, you subtract it from 27.\n\nLook at it this way.  The mates paid 30.  Each got 1 back, so the pizza cost 27 (30-3 = 27).  The delivery guy kept 2 so the total is 25 (27-2 = 25).\n\nNo pound missing.

You have to bear in mind that the drinks were not actually $27 dollars, it was $25.  Just because you gave them a dollar each back, they ASSUMED it was $27.\nEven though they had paid $27, you still had to pay their bill of $25 which would leave you the $2.....\nthe missing $1, is therefore, not a missing dollar....!

Alvin pays 40% (4/10)\nBernie pays 33.333% (1/3) "His fair share"\n\nA = 4/10\nB = 1/3\nC = ?\n\nA + B + C = 1\n\n4/10 + 1/3 + C = 1\nC = 1 - 4/10 - 1/3\nC = 30/30 - 12/30 - 10/30\nC = 8/30\nC = 4/15\n\nIf the full price is x then:\n4/15 x = $2.40\nx = $2.40 * 15/4\nx = $0.60 * 15\nx = $9.00\n\nAlvin paid $3.60\nBernie paid $3.00\nCharlie paid $2.40\n\nThe pizza cost $9.00.

According to the question the answer is 3

You are adding the bellboy when he should be subtracted.  $27 -$2 = $25, which is what the room cost.  Since the room cost only $25, each man should get ~$1.66 back, but the bellboy robs them of $.33 each.  The total should be the cost of the room, which is $25, not $30.\n\nYes it is a riddle.  The trick is in telling the person that it adds to $29.  Without that, most people would probably just figure out that they had to subtract the $2, not add.

let us take each lobe as 3kgs(assumption) then they will have 24kgs of lobe. that is each get 8 kgs...so the person with  3 lobes will have 9kgs and other 15kgs. so 3 lobe will give 1 kg to the hunter and 5 lobe fellow will give 7kg to the hunter. so if each kg costs 1 bronze coin.they will divide 1:7. Are you clear?\n\nBut i missed all your other questions gal!!!!!!!! waht you have done...explaining this i missed all other questions.\n\nis the previous one right?\n\nBut i wont be the first to answer them.....

Can you use money? I would say that John has $31 and he plans on dividing it equally between his four kids so they can buy themselves a treat.  How much money would each kid receive?  The answer would be $7.75.
