Figure this one out....

3 men go into a shop to buy a radio,the radio costs £30.Each man pays a tenner and leaves the shop with the radio.
The shop keeper decides that £30 was too much and that £25 was more realistic,so sends his son after the men with £5.
On the way the lad thinks he'll keep £2 himself and just give the men £3 = £1 to each man
So the men end up paying £9 each and the boy gets £2 to keep himself.

3 men x £9 = £27

£2 for the boy,wheres the other £1 ??? :confused: :D

easy

30 quid total

radio bloke keeps 25 quid

boy keeps 2 quid

men end up paying 3x9 = 27

so from that 27 quid the boy gets the 2 quid and the radio bloke gets the 25...
