Three students slept in a youth hostel and payed 10 bucks each.
After they left the hostel, the lady at the reception remembered that last night they had a special offer - instead of 30 bucks they should have payed only 25 bucks.
So she pushed her boy running after the students to give them back 5 bucks.
The boy thought that it is not easy dividing 5 bucks under 3 people and put 2 bucks in his pocket. 3 bucks he gave back to the students.
The students payed 10 bucks = 30 bucks.
They got back 3 bucks = 27 bucks.
The boy has 2 bucks in his pocket, and 27+2 = 29.
So where is the one buck missing?

yeah-they paid thirty-got three back=28 the kid kept 2-I think
30-3=27 the students think they are suppsed to pay 27 because the kid keeps 2
27-2=25 the actual cost of the room. the 2 dollars the kid kept
You must not add the 2 bucks to 27, but...?
I was gonna put tax mans pocket :D:D haha
25dividedby 3=8.33
.33+.33+.33=0.99
LOL my head hurts, im no math major, someone figure this out :D
