Im missing $1 here help!
ok, so some guy came into my bar yesterday and asked me this, and for the love of all things holy i just cant figure it out for some reason... plz help.
ok so three drunks each have $10, and they want to get a bottle of wine, so they each give their $10 to another drunk to go to the bottle store to buy the wine which normally costs $30, but it's on special for $25. So the other drunk buys the wine, pockets $2, and give the other drunks $1 back each. So now basically the drunks have paid $9 each, and the other drunk has $2 but 9 times 3 = 27 +2 =29.. what happened to the other dollar?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |

Re: Im missing $1 here help!
All right so we have 3x10=30$
Cost of wine: 25$, expected cost 30$ Money saved = 5$ Kep: 2$ to return 3$ 25+2+3=30 He returns, gives every guy one back so they have payed 9$ each. 9x3+2 (money he saved) = 29. Took me a while to figure out, results in white: <font color="white"> You don't have to calculate 9x3=27;27+2=29 and wonder where the 1$ went. Instead you do 9x3=27;27-2$ the guy kept = 25 (what was payed for the bottle) </font> |
