Lets see if I can get this right.
Three guys go hunting and rent a hunting cabin for the day. The cost is $30.
They pool their money and each one of them pays $10
The cashier says the room is on special for only $25 a day and gives them back $5
They decide they can't evenly split up $5 so they each take back a dollar which means they each paid $9. They give the left over $2 to the porter that helped them unpack.
Here is where it gets a little murky.
Each hunter paid $9. They gave the porter $2.
3 hunters paid $9 each = $27
Porter gets $2
_____
That totals $29
Where in the world did the other dollar go?
Have a nice day!

Answer: the 3 hunters did not pay $9 each each for a total of $27. This is incorrect. Between the 3 of them they $25.They could not split the $5 evenly so they each took $1 back from the $5 refund. Then with the remaining $2 the tipped with the porter.
$30-$25=$5refund $5-3 ($1 per person)=$2-$2=0 even.
I can figure this out but I couldn't find my medallion. Totally wrong area.john
have a good night joe
