More math ?'s

3 guys are driving across the country and decided to stop and get a hotel room for the night. They walk in to the lobby and up to the front desk to ask how much a room would be for the night. The lady at the front desk says it will be $30 so they each chipped in $10 and headed to the room. Later on the manager decided that they had charged the boys too much for the room so she told the bellman to take $5 back to the guys. On the way to the room the bellman decides that since there are only 3 guys, they couldn't possibly divide $5 between them so he decided to keep $2 for himself and give the guys only $3 back so they would be able to split it evenly. now here's the hard part.....

The Bellhop gave each guy $1 back, which means they each paid $9 for the room; which equates to $27 (9x3). The bellhop kept $2 for himself which takes the grand total to $29. What happened to the other $1?

25 / 3 = 8.33333333


so each guy got back more then they paid in .33 more x3 = .99

the answer lies in BEDMAS (Brackets Exponent Division Multiplication Subtraction)

they paid 30 - 5 for the room
that is 3(10-1) - 2 = 30 - 3 - 2 the bellhop got 2 dollars and they got back a dollar each

its all about how you add it

What is that high school math? There must be something more difficult then that. Try at least derivatives, anti dervatives, differential, even matrices, polynomial functions. Advanced calculus. Arithmetic is simple

we could throw in some tensors, rings, and holomorphisms if you want...
