港女大鬧連鎖店: 「狗尾續貂」数字謎 / HK Woman's Incident at a Chain-store: Made-up Story of the Missing $20

話說某小姐慘經人肉搜索一役,再不敢帶手机入商場,但仍需要買面盤,於是帶了兩位朋友倍同作伴及見証,往另一間連鎖店再次購物。

小姐: 請問個面盤几多錢?
店員: 原價每個480大元。
朋友: 如果我地每人買一個,一共三個,可以平D啦?
店員: 實價無得減呀!!
小姐: 唉!雖然價錢比上次貴D,但牌子質素有分別,原價都算啦,我地就買三個。
店員: 3乘480,多謝1440大元。

(於是3人每人掏480元交給店員,他拿著1440大元入內交給老板及包貨)

老板: 出边個位小姐好面善,好似係YouTube見過,你收佢几多錢?
店員: 3乘480,一共收1440大元。
老板: 唉!無謂多事,我收順D,就計少40蚊算啦!

(店員將3個面盤及40元交給小姐)

小姐: 咦?點解有40蚊?
店員: 老板話收順D。

(小姐大喜,給店員10元貼士,給自己10元,及兩個朋友每人10元。但是出了連鎖店,朋友屈指一算,立刻面色不悅。)

朋友: D數字又有問題!!
小姐: 點解呀?
朋友: 我地每人買咗470蚊貨, 3乘470等於1410蚊,店員收咗10蚊貼士,一共1420蚊,但係原價係1440元,咁個20蚊去咗边!!!

喊呀,大事不好!!各位網友,請您們趕快幫忙,解釋這20元的差別!!

(以上全是搞笑数字謎,「狗尾續貂」故事,請不要太認真!!)

點會係470呢?
三個公減$40嘛,
1400/3=466.66666,
分嗰$40同$1400條數都無直接關係!

we don't need an auditor to do this job.

simply think this way:

the price is $480 each so X 3 = $1,440 but the boss willing to accept just for $1,400 for 3.

So the 3 ladies each took out $370 X 3 = $1,410
and the cashier gave back $10 to the three ladies. Instead of sharing the $10 change between the three ladies,
they decided to give that to the cashier as gratuity.

to make it more ahered to the story.

So the 3 ladies each took out $380 X 3 = $1,440
and the cashier gave back $40 to the three ladies.
They each took back $10, but it was difficult to break the last $10.

So instead of sharing the $10 change between the three ladies, they decided to give that to the cashier as gratuity.

Gwenzilla:

If one includes the discretionary expenditures, such as tips, then one should also add the transportation cost, etc to reflect the "true" cost of buying the merchandise. But I do see your logic from a full-cost accounting perspective.

Other than the two typos ($370 X 3 = $1,410; and $380 X 3 = $1,440) you are right on !!

各位:

這是一個似是而非的数學謎!! 正如水門事件的"Deep Throat" 話: 『Follow the money !!』

$1440 = 老板 $1400 + 店員 $10 + 3人x (每人 $10)

Left-hand-side = right-hand-side

$l440 is all accounted for !!!

(其實 $1420 是 red herring :)

雖然係嚟個 case,三人冇被騙,但有好多時候,騙子就用呢D似是而非嘅掩眼法去搵飯食。
