Aggie math

Post by hogleg »

mkay, follow this closely.

3 Aggies walked into a motel to get a room each aggie had a $10.00 dollar bill.

The motel clerk told them the room would be $30.00 so each aggie gave him their $10.00.

After the Aggies went to their room the clerk remembered their Aggie discount and

sent the bellboy to return $5.00 dollars to them, the bellboy had 5 ones so the

Aggies decided to each keep one dollar and tip the bellboy the remaining 2 dollars.


The Aggies started pondering on how much money they had spent.

So they said well, we each had 10.00 dollars each

now we each have one dollar so were each out 9 dollars, right.

So 3x9= 27 plus the 2 dollars we tipped the bellboy = 29

Where's the missing dollar???

3x9 = 27 = 25 + 2 :P
(3 x 9 dollars they spent is 27 and this is 25 + 2 (the clerk got 25, the bellboy got 2)

or the other way round
3x10 = 30 = 3x1 + 25 + 2

It's all in the order. If you rearrange it, it adds up but if you do it in the order I put it, it doesn't add up.

Mathmaticians claim that its improper order.

The $27 they spent included the $2 tip. Add the $3 they got back and it comes out to $30.
