Math question ;)

[Guest tumaykilinc]

3 ppl go to buy a radio, the radio is 30€, each one pays 10€ for the radio.. But the seller notices, the radio was 25€

and he wants to give 5€ back.. but 5€ cant be shared between 3 ppl so he keeps 2€ for himself and gives 3€ to 3 persons

in this situation each one paid 9€.. and saler has 2€

now:

9+9+9+2=29

what happened to 1€?

8)

The 3ppl payed £9 each = £27

The shopowner has the price of the radio (£25) + the £2 he kept = £27

It's that simple, there is no extra £1.

This thing has been going round for years and still somehow manages to confuse people
