The guests paid 2,700: 2,500 to the hotel and 200 to the boy. Therefore it is 2,700 minus 200, not plus 200.

💰 The Hotel Room Mystery 🧩

Three friends checked into a hotel room that cost ₹3,000. They split the cost equally, paying ₹1,000 each. Later, the hotel realized they had overcharged; the actual room cost was only ₹2,500.

The manager sent a bellboy to return ₹500. The bellboy, being a bit sneaky, decided to keep ₹200 for himself and gave ₹100 back to each guest.

Now, each friend effectively paid ₹900 (₹1,000 - ₹100), totaling ₹2,700. Add the ₹200 the bellboy kept, and you get ₹2,900.

But wait… Where is the missing ₹100? They originally paid ₹3,000. 🤔

This math riddle has confused people for years. Can you crack it? Or is it just a trick of numbers and misdirection?
