What is your take on this

"Three guests check into a hotel room. The front desk officer says the bill is N30,000, so each guest pays N10,000. Later the front desk officer realizes the bill should only be N25,000.
To fix this, he gives the attendant N5,000 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the attendant realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. Since the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest N1,000 and keep N2,000 as a tip for himself.
Each guest got N1,000 back: so now each guest only paid N9,000; bringing the total paid to N27,000. The attendant has N2,000. And N27,000 + N2,000 = N29,000 so, if the guests originally handed over N30,000, what happened to the remaining N1,000?"

oga this ur puzzle is too weak na, if truely u can't solve such a simple thing,well I Dont know what to say to u, well for benefit of dought, first there r two sides to d calculation,the actual and d assumed, d actual is that they paid 30k, 5 k was returned, so that means they paid 25k total but 8.33k each, now d bellhop returned 3k to them,that's 1k each, that means (8.33*3=25)+3=28k,bellhop guy keeps 2k,total is 30k

the assumed is that they paid 30k, thats 10k each, 3k was returned, so the guests now assume that they r paying 9k each

hope u can be at ease now,bye
