This will Mess With Your Head.
3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $300,
SO EACH MAN PAID $100 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.
A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $250,
SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $50.
ON THE WAY, THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $50 EVENLY
BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $10 BILL AND KEPT THE OTHER $20
FOR HIMSELF.
THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $90 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $270,
ADD THE $20 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $290.
WHERE ARE THE OTHER 10 DOLLARS?

The 3 guys actually paid $270 total since the man behind the desk charged $250 for the room and the bell boy kept $20 for himself.
So $250 for the room + $20 for the bell boy = $270 what the guys paid in total...
lol i dunno if that made sense...

it is because u mutiplied instead of adding....
300 - 50 = 250
30+20 = 50
250+50 = 300
do not believe each paid 90, when you word it by saying 3 x 90 that is incorrect

they each PAID $100*3 = $300
when the desk guy gives back the $50
they each only PAID $250/3 = $83.33
then they each get back $10*3 = $30
so in the end, its $250+$30 = $280 + $20 = $300!!
