DO NOT READ JUST B4 BED, the answer!

Well you have had the answer in one form, but to expand on it a little

you need to take the £20 the sales man is down the pub with and split it between the the 3 brothers then add this on to the £10 each they had back they each think they paid.

so £20 / 3 = 6.6666666666666666666666666666667

+ 10 = 16.666666666666666666666666666667

now take this from the £100 = £83.33333333333333333333333333334

and this is how much they paid each, so in total it is £250

add the £30 = £280 (£10 each they were given back)
and now add the £20 the sales man is in the pub with and you get your £300 they started with.

No, don`t get it. It seems to use the money twice.

"you need to take the £20 the sales man is down the pub with and split it between the the 3 brothers then add this on to the £10 each they had back they each think they paid.

so £20 / 3 = 6.6666666666666666666666666666667

+ 10 = 16.666666666666666666666666666667"

THEN

"add the £30 = £280 (£10 each they were given back)
and now add the £20 the sales man is in the pub with and you get your £300 they started with"

Please explain again, I must be thicker than a thick thing from thick land, I just don`t see it
