No I'm right, I said out of pocket they paid $9 of their finance's.

But technically they paid $9.33 for the room.

:fawk: all of joo, I broke it down for you and even in plain sight you cacmaster's can't figure it out


you all worry about that last dollar too muchh:

 

they paid $9 even, ~$8.33 for the room and ~$.66 to the bellboy. unless you're adding tax or something.

 

You have to do the math.

They room was $25/3=$8.33. The bell boy stole $2 so now the room is $27. Each is given back $1. So they paid $9 each, but it's really $9.33, because each of them was suppose to get $1.66 back

I quit to hard to explainh:

 

10 - 1.66 = 8.33

They originally paid 10 each:

10 X 3 = 30

They got 1 back each

30 - 3 = 27

27/3 = 9, it's that simple.

And if you're trying to calculate what the bellboy too, you subtract it from the 27, so it's:

27 - 2 = 25

25/3 = 8.33

 

ur point? + the dollar they all got back = $9.33, .66 was stolen from them all

 

ur doin something wrong..
if they pay $9 out their pocket.. does 3x$.66 just appear out of nowhere?

 

Forget this u ppl are slow:madfawk:

 

you are totally confused.

 

the dollar they got back is already calculated in the equation. they were supposed to get back 5 total, 5/3=1.66. They got back 1 each, and .66 went to the bellboy.

therefore, it's 10 - 1(their refund) - .66 (money that the bellboy kept)= 8.33

You're just not calculating it right. It's as simple as (30-3)/3=9
