Question

Two friends have a refreshment together and the bill is ₹25. The friends pay ₹15 each, which the waiter gives to the cashier. The cashier hands back ₹5 to the waiter. The waiter keeps ₹3 as a tip and hands back ₹1 each. So the friends paid ₹14 each for refreshment for a total of ₹28. The waiter has ₹3 that makes total ₹31. Where did ₹1 come from?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total amount the friends paid = ₹28

The price for the refreshment = ₹25

Remaining = ₹3

The waiter took ₹3

The problem in the question is that instead of subtracting the amount the waiter took from amount paid, the question adds the amount the waiter took and the amount paid, which gives an extra ₹1
