Thursday
Mrs Mess was buying a set of garden furniture. The bill was seventy dollars. She gave the
attendant what she thought were two RM50 notes, (actually two RM100 notes). The attendant
was sleepy and didn't notice either, so he gave Mrs Mess what he thought were three RM10
notes (actually three RM50 notes).Who actually made a profit out of this situation?
Mrs Mess comes away better off than she should, by $20 in fact. Despite the warning in the
title, Mrs Mess did pay less than she should have done!
Cost of furniture: $70
Mrs Mess paid: $100 x 2 = $200
Change received: $50 x 3 = $150
Net payment: $200 - $150 = $50
Profit for Mrs Mess: $70 - $50 = $20
