One day, there were thre unsuspecting individuals who went to buy a Bravo. Now, these three knew each other, but did not realise they were all going to view the same car, which was priced at £3000. When they got to the showroom and saw the gleaming beast, they were so overcome with joy after seeing it's 18inch rims, induction kit, huge back box, blacked out windows, flamed wheel arches and Carlos Fandango spoliers that they agreed to buy it together and pay a third, i.e. £1000 each.
The salesman then comes into the show room and says to the gullible individuals, "I tell you what I'll do, I'll knock £500 of the screen price. Out of that £500 reduction, I'll give you each back £100 from the £1000 you've paid and I'll keep £200 for my commission.
The three men were obviously delighted.
Here's the catch, they have now paid a total of £900 each (£1000 initailly, then handed back £100) totalling £2700 and the salesman kept £200 comission; adding upto £2900.
Where's the extra £100 gone?
