{:3_57:} Three people went to a hotel and booked three rooms, at $10 per room. So they paid the owner a total of $30. The next day, the owner thought that three rooms only cost $25, so he asked his employee to return $5 to the three guests. However, the employee was greedy and gave each guest only $1, keeping $2 for himself. As a result, each of the three guests ended up paying $9, meaning they spent a total of $27. Adding the $2 that the employee kept for himself, the total amount comes to $29. But they three paid a total of $30 initially, so where is the remaining $1?

Boss: 25 yuan; Junior: 7, Brother A: 9, Brother B: 9. 30 yuan: 25 for the three of them, Junior: 3, Brother A: 1, Brother B: 1. Total expenditure: 27; income from corruption: 2. 27 – 2 = 25. This 29 is nothing but nonsense and absurdity.
Initially, the three of them paid a total of 30; 25 was with the boss, 2 was with the underling, and 3 was with the three of them. 25+2+3=30. In fact, the three of them only paid 27; 25 was with the boss and 2 was with the underling. That’s much clearer! :loveliness:
The analysis is quite reasonable; I’ve seen this problem before somewhere
Hehe... I don’t know; it’s the first time I’ve seen it. At first it seems confusing... but once you sort it out, it becomes clear
My question {:3_57:}
Ah 0.0 {:2_31:} Haha ahhhhhh
Reply to 3# denghl: Your idea is just following the existing logic, so there’s no need to think further about it
The three of them paid a total of 27 yuan; 2 yuan was with the assistant, and 25 yuan was with the boss~~ You know how to do material balance and heat balance calculations, right?:lol:lol. Be sure to identify which are the inputs and which are the outputs
