    In any transaction,
    the total money paid = total money collected
    the 3 guys paid N90 each (no doubt about that)
    there4, total money paid = (N90 x 3) = N270
    And total money collected = N250 + N20 = N270
    Thus total money paid=total money collected QED
    The fact is that the total money 'transacted' was actually N270 as opposed to N3000 believed to have been transacted by laz4rich and there4 there was never any missing N10 or amount for that matter.

    Hey Guys!
    No course for alarm, we just need to be open minded on this case.


    Actually, the three friend paid N90.00 each (N100-N10) = N270.00
    The Manager received from each (as recorded) N250/3 = N83.33 (not entire N90 paid)
    The waitress initially held from transaction, N20.00

    At the closing hour, their will be surplus of 3 x N6.67=N20 (excess payment from the three) + N10 (excess on transactioni.e N300-N290) = N30.00

    If the waitress is faithful, He/She refunds the N30 to the restaurant, if not, he take entire Fifty Niara (i.e N20.00+ N30.00)

    QED...
