I am arithmetic impaired:
3 guys went to the bar agreeing to pay the tab equally.
The bill was exactly $30.00
$30 divided by 3 is $10.00 per person
The waitress collected $10 from Person A, $10 from Person B, $10 from Person C.
Waitress went to the cashier. Cashier said "Hey those guys received $5.00 discount."
Waitress realized she could not split $5.00 three ways equally so she pocketed $2.00.
She returned $1 to Person A, $1 to Person B, and $1 to Person C.
Person A initially paid $10.00; received $1.00 back; so Person A actually paid $9.00
Person B also actually paid $9.00
Person C is also $9.00
$9.00 times 3 = $27.00
$27.00 plus $2.00 the waitress pocketed = $29.00
Where in the heck is the missing $1.00?
