![]() ![]() ![]() This is very interesting question,try to figure out answer. Three Ladies went to a hotel to share a room. The clerk asked for $300. Each Lady paid $100, making up the $300. The hotelkeeper then decided to allow a discount for the day, charging only $250 for the room. He told the clerk to return $50 to the three Ladies. The clerk pocketed $20 for himself. He gave the remaining $30 back to the three Ladies. Each Lady took back $10. Therefore, each Lady paid 100 - 10 = $90 to the hotel. $90 x 3 = $270 + the clerk's $20 = $290. Question: Where has the remaining $10 gone? There is widespread interest in this question posted by a university in N.Z. Many people are still trying to work out an answer. ![]() |

Re: Interesting question
Its been answered several times.
You don't add $270 + $20....but subtract $270-$20 = $250 Because the ladies paid $270....out of which $250 went to the hotel and $20 went to the clerk. |

Re: Interesting question
I guess the answer given by Kalisaand pai may be hard to understand if you have failed at kindergarten and then stopped studying further.
