The women originally had $300 They were charged $250, so $50 should have been returned. The person returning the money kept $20 and gave back $30 total ($10 each). So each woman effectively paid $90 90 × 3 = $270 Now here is where people get it wrong 👇 You do NOT add the missing $20 to $270. Why? Because the $20 is already part of the $270. It’s included in what they paid. The correct breakdown is: $250 went to the hotel $20 went to the dishonest person $30 was returned to the women $250 + $20 + $30 = $300 So the correct equation is: $270 (total paid) + $30 (returned) = $300 There is no missing money, The confusion comes from adding the $20 to the wrong side of the equation.

For 300 dollars ,Each lady paid 100 dollars The discount of 50 dollars make the total cost 250 dollars Sharing 250 dollars 250/3=83.333dollars Sharing the 30dollars for the 3 ladies total will be 93.3dollars Now 93.33*3=279.99 approximately 280 dollars 280+20=300dollars😁

270-20=250, the price of the room

Each lady paid $90, total $270. $250 stayed with the hotel. $20 stayed with the employee. What is the mystery?

Figured it out. There is no logic here only illusion. And the illusion is to think we are suppose to addup to get up to 300 when in reality they were only suppose to pay 250 but ended up getting scammed off 20, we are suppose to subtract 20 and not add it.

lol. 90x3 =270 (spent). This includes 250$ for lodge and $20 tip. 10x3=$30 (discount) Total = 300$

Is was no $10 lost and the math leading to$ 290 is completely wrong. Each lady paid $90 which is correct. The result is $270 from which $250 was taken by the hotel and $20 was taken by the clerk.

You must not add but subtract the $20 from $270. That is $250 which is the amount the owner took.

That reasoning is incorrect. You don’t add the $20 if you’ve already subtracted the $30. If you subtract the $30, then the $20 must also be subtracted to bring the total back to $250. The problem is in his example it mixes variables inconsistently, which makes the argument misleading rather than mathematically sound.

You accounted for the 30 (part of discount) in your subtraction from 300 But the resulting 270 should be less the 20 ( another part of discount) they were scammed to get to the amount they needed to pay. R250 The sum is 250+30+20

After the discounted rate, you actually have 250 dollars. So the answer is that 3x90 is 270 (20 dollars more than the 250 amount due to the theft of the clerk).

Twisted analysis🤦‍♂️😄 No money is missing The women advanced $300 Hotel returned $50 Staff took $20 Returned $30 to the women $270 paid by the women = $250 (the hotel's share) + $20 (the lady took) Only other money was the $30 returned to the women. $250 + $20 + $30 = $300

There's no money missing cos the hotel charged 250 plus the 20 the waiter took so all the money is accounted for. You need to compare in this situation cos yhe hotel charged 250 and the waiter too 20. Meaning they contributed 90 each to that.

The correct change is $30. The calculation you did (90 × 3 = 270 + 20 = 290) is incorrect, as the 20 is part of the change breakdown, not an addition to the total cost.

No missing money. Each lady effectively parted with $90. Total contribution $270 Breakdown: $250 to the hotel; $20 to the thief

The 20 should be deducted not added. The women paid a total of 300, 50 was returned but 20 was stolen. Now they spent a total of 270, if the 20 is returned money spent becomes 250 not 290. If u calculate money like that in real life, u'll always think someone is stealing from u😂

$250 divided evenly is $83.33 per person. $10 (rebate included) is $93.33 per person. $93.33 x 3 people is $280. Add back in the $20 pocketed by the clerk and you get $300.

There is no missing $10. Hotel overall received $250 The guests paid $90 each which amounts to $270. There was over payment of $20 - stolen by clerk. All monies are balanced.

They paid 270 and he got 20 and the hotel got 250. There’s no missing 10

His premise is retarded. The other 20 went to the dude because the price was only 250 not 300, but they paid 270.

This is reverse mathematics…the answer should be ..$250 for the room, $30 the ladies got returned and $20 the clerk kept…simple

Continue to subtract, 270 is the final price paid by the clients, you then SUBTRACT the 20 pocketed by the soon to be fired worker, which results in the true final price of 250

The ladies didn’t pay 90 to the hotel. They paid less. If you think about where the funds settle it becomes simple. In the end: Ladies got 30 back Clerk got 20 Hotel got 250. Sum = 300 In the video the last step should subtract 20 from 270, to calculate what the hotel got.

$300 with a $50 discount making $250. Guy pocket 20 making amount the 3 paid 270. 20 was due to theft. Making the 30 that gets distributed. Costing each lady 90 The hidden cost of the theft has to be added first to the total cost because the ladies are unknowingly paying for the theft.
