if 3 guys each pay 10 dollars for a hotel...?

if it was 25 dollars it means 8.33 dollars per person not 8. The calculation is 9 x 3 = 27 \n27 -bellboy keeps 2 = 25 which was paid to the hotel.

The facts in this riddle are clear: 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 bellhop - there you have the $5. The 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.

They should. They should be charged double, and you should have to pay restitution to those sitting within 10 seats of you.\n\n_

You spent $9 apiece to pay the hotel and the bell hop = $27.  Plus $1 for each of you = $30

The room only cost $25 and each person really paid $9 each so they paid a total of $27. The bellhop kept $2 for himself. There is no missing dollar. It is elementary, Watson!

approach travel agencies with low prices for groups.you don't have to compete the other hotel.hire somebody who has good relations for your reservations and learn how to do the job before you fire him/her

Math question\nIt's the wording. Don't pay attention to the $27 figure. Concentrate on this.\n\n$30 paid.\n\n$25 Acutal cost of room due to discount\n\n$5 owed\n\n$1 dollar to each\n\n$2 for the clerk.\n\nThe mythical figure of $27 ASSUMES that the cost of the room was actually $27 due to the refund of $1 per man (it should have been 25 due to the multiple occupant discount, The number 27 was never mentioned by "motel personel"). Look only at the original price and the actual discount price of $30 and $25 respectively. If you do that, the math should make sense\n\n30 dollars paid\n\n25 dollars actual cost of room\n\n5 Dollars total refund\n\n3 dollars total to the salesmen\n\n2 dollars to the clerk\n\nHence an algebraic formula ((30-5)+3)+2)=30\n\n(25+3)+2=30\n\n28+2=30\n\nOr:\n\nx=$30, total paid by salesmen \n\ny=$25 cost of room with multiple occupancy discount\n\nz=$5 Total amount of refund due salesmen\n\na=$2 Amount kept by clerk\n\nb=$3 Actual amount refunded to salesmen\n\nWhich gives you (((x-z)+b)+a)=x\n\nNow isn't that much simpler?

call them, I'm sure they'll do it for about $50. Hell, they ain't hittin on nothing else. They probably could use the publicity and cash.

Three children find a lost dog and return it to the owner.  The owner gives the three children $20 as a reward.  How much money does EACH child get, if they split it equally?\n\nDIVIDE, and find out.

Have it @ your hotel.  They should give you some sort of discount or a better deal, right?  I would not pay them the extra gratuity.  This can really hike your bill up.  Negotiate. If you feel they should get something extra.  Agree to pay 5% or 10% something.  Something is better than nothing.

because the analogy at the end is incorrect. the 2 dollars that the waitress had is part of the 27 dollars that the guys paid. if you look at it from a different  and correct perspective, the guys paid $27 each and kept 3. Or, now the waitress has 27 dollars thand the guys have three

No.  They are trying to minimize lengthy travel times and player fatigue that goes with it.\n\nPlus, if they can stay at the same hotel, it cuts costs as well.
