okay one more....

One night two friends check into the same motel. Once again the clerk charges them $30, or $15 per person. After the clerk remembers the total rate is only $25 he sends the bellhop upstairs with five $1 bills to pay the two friends back. The bellhop pockets $3 and returns $2 to the hotel guests ($1 per guest). So each of the two guests got $1 back from their original $15. Therefore each paid $14 which is a total payment of $28 for the room. Now the bellhop has $3, the guests paid $28, for a total of $31....Where did the extra dollar come from?
you are supposed to subtract 3 from 28 not add it on. so it should be 28-3=25 which is right. not 28+3=31. this is because if $5 are going back to the people it would subtract from what they already paid. not add to it.
