 Maths question - Fullchat
OK.

Three brickies decide its a bit quiet on site and decide to buy a radio.

They chip in £5 a piece and send the labourer to buy one. That's £15.

He nips into Jewsons and spots one for £10. (Don't know if they sell radios but hey)

He decides he can make a little out of this so pockets £2.

He goes back to the site with the radio and gives them back a £1 a piece.

So they have paid £4 each.

3 X £4 = £12 + £2 in the labourer's pocket = £14

Where has the other £1 gone?????
