text: see if you can answer this, part 2? 3 nearly broke guys decided to share a hotel room. the sign outside the hotel said rooms for $30. they went inside and each paid $10 to the clerk. when the night clerk came on duty he realized the room was overcharged, because of a $25 special. the night clerk sent the bellboy up to their room with five $1 bills. the bellboy not being too smart did not know how to divide $5 among the three men. so he put $2 in his pocket and gave the three men the $3 to divide among themselves. this made each man paying $9 each. if $9 times 3 men = $27 plus the $2 the bell boy kept equalling $29, where did the other $1 go?   no, the $27 does not already include the $2. wrong. no, you don't subtract the $2, you do add it. trying to account for money here. don't get caught on this,wrong. yes, it's easy to say $25 + $2 + ($1 x $3)= $30 anyone can do that. no, they didn't pay $8.33 each. wrong. if you chose any of the above, you're not reading.  in basic math it's 9x3=27+2=29...where's the $1 tip for bellboy
