Three guests check into a hotel room. The receptionist says the bill is £30, so each guest pays £10. Later the receptionist realises the bill should only be £25. To rectify this, he gives the porter £5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the porter realises that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the porter decides to just give each guest £1 and keep £2 for himself.

Now that each of the guests has been given £1 back, each has paid £9, bringing the total paid to £27. The porter has £2. If the guests originally handed over £30, what happened to the remaining £1?

Really?

You want a slide rule to work out what happened?

Brighton - even Hove!

It's the difference between cost and expenditure. The room cost £25 or £8.33 each. They paid £30 and got £1 each back = £27. The difference between the cost of the room (£25) and what they paid (£27) is £2. The porter kept the £2.

Not 'government accounting' - basic maths.

Basically, the porter has fleeced them of £2 as they have now overpaid for their room.

They have only paid the hotel £25 for the room.

Each had £1 back = £3

Porter had £2

Total =£5

Gets you back to £30.

As Steve says the difference on the expenditure is in the porters pocket
