Ten dollars ????????

This is very interesting question,try to figure out answer.


Three Ladies went to a hotel to share a room.
 
The clerk asked for $300.
 
 Each Lady paid $100, making up the $300.
 
 The hotelkeeper then decided to allow a discount for the day, charging only $250 for the room.
 
He told the clerk to return $50 to the three Ladies.
 
The clerk pocketed $20 for himself. He gave the remaining $30 back to the three Ladies.
 
Each Lady took back $10. Therefore, each Lady paid 100 - 10 = $90 to the hotel.
 
$90 x 3 = $270 + the clerk's $20 = $290.
 
 Question: Where has the remaining $10 gone?
 
There is widespread interest in this question posted by a university in N.Z.
 
Many people are still trying to work out an answer.

Answer

ladies pay 250$ for room rent

waiter got 20$

ladies get back 30$

 

or

in your way

ladies paid 90x3 = 270$  (Total expense)

less waiter tip = 20$

so room rent  250$

 Rs 10 not gone anywhere it was just an imaginery amount.

Total Cost = Rs. 3 women * Rs 90 each = Rs 270

Waiter's Tip = Rs 20

Hence Room Rent = Rs 270- Rs 20 = Rs 250

$ 270 already includes the dollar kept by clerk. (90*3). Total expenditure 270. Each women has been returned back $ 30. So Total $ 300.
