Q2. Eloise bought new clothes for school. In the first store, she spent half the money she had, plus $10. In the second store, she spent half of what was left, plus $5. In the last store, she spent three-fourths (3/4) of what was left, and came home with $5.
How much money did Eloise start out with?
Three businessmen check into a motel for the night and the manager tells them the cost of the room is $30.
Each man hands the manager a $10 and they head off to their room. A few minutes later, the manager realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He summons the bellhop and hands him a $5 bill and instructs him to return the money to the 3 businessmen who had just checked in.
On the way up to the room, the bellhop pockets the $5 bill and takes out three $1 bills. The bellhop tells the men that the manager made a mistake and over charged them for the room. He hands back to each man a $1 bill and says nothing of the $2 he kept for himself.
Each businessman has now paid $9 for the room ($9 X 3= $27), plus the bellhop kept $2, which brings the total up to $29. The original price of the room was $30, so where is the missing dollar?
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
