a cool question if three person paid 20$ each and make it up 60$ to buy a watch the watch costed them of 55$ and 5$ were left behind.After that five dollar were used in buying peanuts .peanuts cost them of 2$. Now 3$ were left these 3 dollar were given back.1 $ to each person!Now our equation stand her that: - 20+20+20=60 then by minusing one at each 20 we got 19+19+19=57 After that We returned 2$ bac 19+19+19+2=59 How is that possible? am i havind mistake in my calculation

Yes, there is a big mistake it should be like this. 20+20+20 = 60 then 19+19+19 = 57 the 57-2 = 55 That is the cost of Watch and $2 was worth peanutes and 3 dollar were returned which adds upto 55+2+3=60!
