Logical Interview Question:

3 salesmen went into a hotel to rent a room. The manager stated that he had only 1 room left, but all 3 could use it for $30.00 for the night. The 3 salesmen gave him $10.00 each and went up to their room. Later, the manager decided that he had charged the salesmen too much so he called the bellhop over, gave him five one-dollar bills, n said Take this $5.00 up to the salesmen n tell them I had charged them too much for the room. On the way up, the bellhop knew that he could not divide the 5 one-dollar bills equally so he put two of the one-dollar bills in his pocket and returned one one-dollar bill to each of the salesmen. It means that each salesman paid $9.00 for the room. The bellhop kept $2.00 3 times 9 is 27 plus 2 is 29. What happened to the extra?

The calculation just makes no sense. The three salesman paid $27, of which the manager got $25 and the bellhop $2. Conclusion: There's no dollar missing at all. ..

OR

After returning 5 doller every one distribution is 8 doller and 33.333
but bellhop rutunr 1 doller then every one distribution is 9.3333
ie 9.3333*3 =28 and 2 doller is 30

Each man paid $ 30.00 the room only cost $ 25.00 The manager gives the bellhop $ 5.00 The bellhop gives the men $ 3.00 and keeps $ 2.00 So the men Paid $ 28.00 for the room and the bellhop kept $ 2.00 for a total of $ 30.00
