Three guys rent a hotel room for the night. When they get to the hotel they pay the $$\$30 $$ fee, then go up to their room. Soo

n the bellhop brings up their bags and gives the lawyers back $5 because the hotel was having a special discount that weekend. So the three lawyers decide to each keep one of the $5 dollars and to give the bellhop a $2 tip. However, when they sat down to tally up their expenses for the weekend the could not explain the following details:
Each one of them had originally paid $10 (towards the initial $30), then each got back $1 which meant that they each paid $9. Then they gave the bellhop a $2 tip. HOWEVER, 3 • $9 + $2 = $29

The guys couldn't figure out what happened to the other dollar. After all, the three paid out $30 but could only account for $29.

Can you determine what happened?

3. A jet traveled at an average speed of 681 kilometers an hour. At that rate, how far did the jet go in 7 1/4 hours?​
Burka [1]

\stackrel{mixed}{7\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{29}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{array}{ccll} K ms&hours\\ \cline{1-2} 681 & 1\\ x& \frac{29}{4} \end{array} \implies \cfrac{681}{x}=\cfrac{1}{~~ \frac{29}{4}~~}\implies \cfrac{684}{x}=\cfrac{4}{29} \\\\\\ 19836=4x\implies \cfrac{19836}{4}=x\implies 4959=x
