[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 659235, member: 54538"] Adding $28 plus $3 is meaningless. The $3 is already included in the $28--which is the $25 that the innkeeper has, plus the $3 that the bellhop has. And Dan's and Daeron's answers are no closer to being correct than the "riddle" 's original psuedo-math. No one ever pays $13.50, and no total ever comes to $13.50. They each paid $15 originally, they each should have gotten $2.50 back (for a net payment of $12.50), but they each actually only got $1.00 back (for a net payment of $14). Of that $14, $12.50 went to the hotel, and $1.50 went to the bellhop. Dana, there's no mystery--it's plain, simple, mathematical common sense. The lack of basic, simply mathematical understanding in this country never ceases to amaze and disappoint me. [/QUOTE]
