The friends didn't pay £9 each, they paid £8.3333333333333 each and the cheeky fooking waiter nicked £2 of their change.Chungo said:I hope I get this right:
3 friends go to a restaurant for a meal.
The meal costs £30.
Each friend pays £10 towards the meal to the waiter/waitress.
The waiter/waitress then realises the meal is only £25 so takes £2 for himself and returns £1 each to the 3 friends.
This means each friend has payed £9 each for the meal.
Now multiply 9(money payed) by 3(friends) plus the £2 which the waiter took.
£29
Where is the missing pound?
There isn't a missing pound.
