    $25 divided 3 ways = 8.333333

    plus $1 = 9.333333

    equals 28 bucks

    minus the two the guy took

    adds up alright

    um... why are you dividing 25 by 3 ways?... don't even bother w/that because it was 30 dollars divided 3 ways... so they each paid 10.

    The manager figured it out after they left... and gave 5 to ernie the doorman...

    who kept 2 for him.

    that means he gave them back 3 of the 5.

    so: 30paid - 5back = 25 + 3back (one for each guy) = 28.

    there's 2 dollars left - which teh bellhop took for himself.

    what's all this decimal bullshit, folks? pllbtthhhh
