Figure out this vexing riddle.
3 ladies go to buy a radio. The radio is $30 so they each pay $10. The radio was actually $25 so the manager went back to give back $5. He then stopped thinking how the hell is he suppose to split the money between the 3 ladies. So he kept $2 and gave $1 back to each of the ladies. Soooo
3 x 9 = 27 + 2 (the 2 he kept) = 29. 30 - 29 = 1.
What happened to the missing dollar?
Although I don't have any prize XD. Shoot me if you must.

That guy is doing some bad business. You dont just keep their money because you can evenly split their change.

Well actually there is no missing dollar. The radio cost $30 originally before the manager remembered it was $25 so theres a $5 difference. 1 dollar to each lady = $3 and 2 dollars for himself = $2.
3+2 = 5
There is no missing dollar, I think you just added/subtracted it in another way to fool us
3+2 = 5

We know it is a left over of 5 dollars.
But in the way the story is stating it where did the dollar go in that?
Then again I'm not so sure about the answer myself. When I was told the answer it took me a while to even figure out half of it.

Its quite simple really
Each woman has paid $9.
The Manager has $2.
$9 x 3 = $27 - $2 = $25
Another way:
Each woman has $1.
The manager has $2.
The company has $25.
$3 X $1 = $3 + 2 = $5 + $25 = 30.
Problem Solved

Well to me I thought that it needed a bit more explaining then just saying 3+2.

I agree with Artanis, he said that you added wrong and that was correct.
