[www.keralites.net] Ten Dollars??????

 

Three Ladieswent to a hotel to share a room. The clerk asked for $300. EachLady paid $100, making up the $300. The hotel keeper then decided to allow a discount for the day, charging only $250 for the room. He told the clerk to return $50 to the three Ladies. The clerk pocketed $20 for himself. He gave the remaining $30 back to the three Ladies. EachLady took back $10. Therefore, eachLady paid 100 - 10 = $90 to the hotel. $90 x 3 = $270 + the clerk's $20 = $290. Question: Where has the remaining $10 gone? There is widespread interest in this question posted by a university in N.Z. Many people are still trying to work out an answer.
