Story:
Three people walk into a hotel. They each pay ten dollars ($10 x 3) to stay the night. (Total: $30)
The manager says: "Oh, they're nice people", and gives the clerk five dollars ($5) to split between three of them.
The clerk goes to each person, and gives them one dollar ($1) each. On the way down, pockets the reminding two dollars ($2) (Total: $5).

Math:
Now, they would of each payed nine dollars ($9 x 3) (Total: $27) and there is two dollars ($2) in the clerk's pocket (Total:29).

WTF:
What happened to the extra dollar?
 
Well, they didn't pay $9 they paid $10 so don't worry about what would have happened to the extra dollar. :tongue:

Explain what you mean, or re-read the first post if you think what you just said makes sense.
 
I think you can't assume it's the same for if they each payed $9 or something :s

TBH it's confusing :\
