P♥PER G♥NGST♥R


I got no idea why, but i'm into black white dark things nowadays.
no, i'm not being an emo kid.

Just a feeling you know?



Like for example *other than having really spooky evil thoughts* , Nouvelle Vague's Psyche.
& I even manage to scare the shit out of myself , I couldnt sleep till 6am! 
ohmygod.

Its my bimbo tune now, lol.

I know, you're prolly thinking ; why the fark is she being so random.

& i'm on some rollercoaster moodswing(s) now, farkkk.

The day was up and down, literally.
Met up with babycally at The Curve, did some bank in and errands.
Had some ber-bonding time at The Library.

Wanted to drop by Ikea cause I love exploring and playing around with their stuffs lol.
Its like an adult playground, get what I mean? Harhar.
Anyway we couldnt make it because we went to get our hair done.

Headed off to Kota D's for Entranze grand opening.
Missed the lion dance, but they had dancers performing after that.
Me, Cally, SarnyFarny and Abigail play card games/drinking games, uhms.

Left and had supper at Mano Mega Curry House with the bunchies (Cally, CH, Abbie, Ravin, Sarny, LV) 

So like , yeaaa.



Anyway saw this on someones facebook page, got me think for quite some time.
Try to solve it if you can (:
Cause I cant and i'm cracking my head for answers, argh. Its driving me insane!


 3 person went for dinner. When they finished eating, they kindly asked for the bill ; the total was $25. Each of them paid $10 which brings the total to $30. They received a balance of $5. Then each of them took back their respective $1 and the balance of $2 was given as tips.

So the question is, if each person paid $10 and took back $1 (which brings the amount of $9 per person paid for their meal). Now lets do the math, $9 x 3 = rm27 ; Plus $2 as tips = $29. Where did the $1 go?


Manage to figure it out?
Drop me a comment if you know the answer!


much loves, xx.

I just figured it out.
You see, when you times $9 and $3, it's $27, but that's the amount they SPEND (dinner[$25] plus tips[$2]).
So the remaining $3 is the amount they took back ("Then each of them took back their respective $1")

LOL i think the person who wrote that is trying to confuse you :S if the 3 people got back 5bucks for the dinner and take a dollar each, theyre left with like 2bucks so thats left for the tips.
i reckon the last part is there to confuse you ay. haha

by using the second method, it's a wrong concept. 3 x $9 = the total sum of $27.
and from the 1st method, the bill is only $25, so $27-$25 = $3,
and the balance $3 is split among the three of us.
which means the extra $2 being added to the $25 (from the bill) is the tips.

I think the answer is, they all paid 9 each so its RM27 in total. After that, RM27-RM2 which is the tax. So there is actually no balance.

Anon : I dont really get what youre saying uhms.
Anon : Yea, I kno right. Lol, but still it gets you thinking hahaha.
Anon : Wow, I SEE MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS! Hardcore ;p
Jill : Huh? What do you mean? I'm lost ):


Godddd , I dont get it!!!!! Someone please explain? Booboo ;S

Dinner bill = $25
They spent $9 X 3 = $27
$27 - $25 = $2 (That's the tips)
$30 - $27 = $3 are what they took back and keep. (Then each of them took back their respective $1)

3 person have paid = $27 (3x$9)
Tips = $2
Total bill = $25
Total bill with tips = $27

So the total bill is actually $27, and there's no remaining.

I think the question is trying to confuse you in a way that the 3 person have to pay $29(total bill + tips), which is incorrect. Because when they pay $9, it already included the tips.

its quite easy actually
each of them paid $9, 9x3=$27.
the cost of the meal was $25.
$25+$2 tips = $27 in total,
which is what they paid!

the fact is $9 x 3person = $27 is actually the TOTAL amount paid for the meal($25) PLUS the tips($2).

the question's last bit tricked u into adding YET ANOTHER EXTRA $2 for tips to make it seem as tho the total paid was $29 and asked for the missing $1.

when its really simple:

Paid = $30
Meal = $25
Each took back $1 = $3
Tips = $2

$25 + 3$ + $2 = $30!

i hope u get it cause i think everyone explained well enough already! cheers

hey,
about your post...
each of them paid 9
so 9 X 3 = 27
+ 3 which is the balance
= 30
The tips to the waiter is not counted as it is a cost.
25+2 =27
so 28 is the Total cost.
27+1+1+1 = 30
