Hi Folks
Please answer:
Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs 75/-
Each one contributed Rs.25/-.
The waiter took the bill to the cashier.
The cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of Rs.5/- & asked the waiter to return them Rs.5/-.
Now the waiter was confused. How to distribute Rs 5 among 3 persons?
He kept Rs 2 in his pocket & gave one rupee to each one of the 3 persons.
So initially each one had contributed Rs.25. Now as they are given 1 rupee back, their contribution reduces to Rs 24.
They all contributed Rs 24 -- that is 24x3=72 & 2 rupees are in the waiters pocket.
The total becomes 74. But they had paid Rs 75.
Where is the remaining 1 rupee?.

Its a calculation mistake:
Total Expenses ie Rs. 72 includes the amount/money taken by Waiter therefore don't add the tips taken by waiter.
initial exp Rs 75
They got back Rs 3
Their total expense Rs 72 includes Waiter's tips also.
No need to add waiters tips separately.
