Alright, the way this is worded, it is impossible. 30 dollars together 3 men paid, so each man paid 10 dollars. Since he over charges by 5 dollars, He gives back 3 dollars back and keeps 2 dollars. 2 of the men would pay 9 dollars and 33 cents, and the third guy paid 9 dollars and 34 cents. That equals 28 dollars, and then gets to keep 2 dollars. $9.33+$9.33+$9.34+$2.00=$30.00

ok so the total was 30, subtract the 5 the manager gave back and that leaves 25. So the waiter gives them back a dollar each, making it 9 dollars they all paid, which would equal 27, 27-25=2. And the other dollar was given back to one of the three men. I dont know, but somehow it works out right. |

that's not totally right. Here it goes. three guys paid a total of 30 dollars for a meal. The waiter over charges then by $5.00. So that means the meal only cost $25.00. So two guys who pay $8.33 cents, and the third paid $8.34. That is how they paid (Unless they can figure out how the three of then each 8.33+(1/3), which would be unlikely). So It one guy $8.33 and $8.33 and the other $8.34. that equals 25.00. But the waitor keeps 2 dollars and gives back the rest 3 dollars, so 1 dollar to each, so that would have $9.33 and $9.33 and $9.34. That equals 28 dollars, so the Waitor gets to keep 2 dollars.

They pay 30 dollars first and only believe they get a dollar back each, so, 10-1=9, as is my understanding... |
