Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs 75/-


Each one contributed Rs 25/-.


The waiter took the bill to the cashier.


The cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of Rs 5/-
& asked the waiter to return them Rs 5/-.

Now the waiter was confused. How to distribute Rs 5 among 3 persons?


He kept Rs 2 in his pocket & gave one rupee to each one of the 3 persons.


So initially each one had contributed Rs 25. Now as they are given 1 rupee back, their contribution reduces to Rs 24.

They all contributed Rs 24 -- that is 24x3=72 & 2 rs are in the waiters pocket.

The total becomes 74. But they had paid Rs 75.

Where is the remaining 1 rupee?. :blink:

Original Bill : Rs. 75/-
Discount : Rs 5/-
--------------------
Amt to Pay : Rs 70/-
Waiter Took: Rs 2/-
--------------------
Amount Paid: Rs 72/-

So it maked 24*3 = 72 + 3 Rs Returned = 75 :)
