It was paided at the start in the $30 (shared doller between the three starting off). Maybe, quick answer...

Ah, I remember when I hit puberty.... last week. :p

So now each guy has paid $9. $9 times 3 is $27 plus the two the bell hop stole--only $29! Where is the other buck?

the question is $27-$2, which is $25, which is the net cost of the room. The bell hop has the $2. The $30 is irrelevant

Nice trick question though. $8.33 a piece. Har

What?
