Dubai & Nottingham

Three housemates visit a second hand TV store. They buy a TV for £30 each handing over a £10 note to the salesman.

As they leave the boss tells the salesman it had just been reduced to £25 in the sale.

He gives him 5 £1 coins and says run after them and give them £5 back.

He catches them up but he’s dishonest. He says it was reduced to £27 , gives them £1 each and pockets £2 for himself.

Each flatmate has now paid £9 each (£27 in total) and the salesman pocketed £2.

Where is the last £1 ?

They bought a TV for £30 each and only handed over £10. Why is the shop refunding any money to them at all when they still owe £20 for the £30 TV?

There is no last pound, £27+£3 =£30

The dishonest man took the £2 from the gross amount (£25) resulting in the £27, so it doesn't count in the £3 change

There isn't any missing as they paid in crypto and it was worthless by the time they left the shop.

"

One each back = £3

Salesman keeps =£2

No last £1...£3+£2 = £5

The total cost is actually £28, not £29.

The original 30, less 5, plus 3 pounds refund = 28.

And so there is no spare £1. Just the £2 the sales clerk has.

I think the idea is we are supposed to think we should be looking at 27+2 to get to 30, when in fact we should be looking at 27-2 which equals 25,which is correct.
