The missing £1

[ColJack]

there IS no missing pound, it's just the wording that's wrong..

cost of the room is now £25.
the manager adds a £2 "pocket comission" bringing the total to £27.. which is £9 each..

What is he the manager of, a 'pocket shop'

it's just the wording that's wrong

Checked me wording, looks ok to me !

Or.........

Cost of rooms was £9 each =27. Each guest says "dont worry about it" and gives each of their pound refunds back. 27+ the 3 back is the original 30.

Receptionists earns £2 out of thin air...

Can you just explain it again, in a bit more detail?

lol... no, ffs

They pay £30 total.

£5 is taken from the £30 leaving £25 in the till.

£3 is given back and the receptionist keeps £2.

£25 + £3 + £2 = £30. Simple surely.

I agree with Blas

Should have used visa.

So how much did the couples eventually pay ?

coz if they started off by paying £10 each and got £1 each back I dont care what anybody says, at school I was taught 3x9 =27 + the 2 the receptionist has = 29

they paid 27, but they're in deficit for 27, so it's a minus.. therefore add on 2 equals -25, not 29...... and -25 equates to the +25 the hotel has...

caretech... more like care in the community!

 

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

Did it include breakfast?

 

[Deluks]

I think tomorrow I will go to the bank and withdraw 30 pound coins, number each one and actually do it to see where the pound goes.

Pleased to see it caused a bit of confusion
as imamartian said there is no missing pound, but my, it does cause some headaches.
