Where Did the Dollar Come From ?
Puzzles -> Number Puzzles
Two friends have a nice meal together, and the bill is $25
The friends pay $15 each, which the Waiter gives to the Cashier
The Cashier hands back $5 to the Waiter
The Waiter keeps $3 as a tip and hands back $1 each
So, the friends paid $14 each for the meal, for a total of $28. The Waiter has $3, and that makes $31. Where did the other dollar come from? |
