There are 3 guys. they go to a restaurant and when they have to pay, the bill is $30. Each guy pays $10. The waiter takes the $30 (3 x $10) and takes it to the cashier. The cashier feels bad for the guys who just paid $30 and give the waiter $5 to take back to the guys (dont ask why, he just did!!!). On the way back the waiter puts $2 out of that $5 in his poket and gives each one of those guys $1. So that means each guy has paid $9 instead of $10 (10 - 1 = 9).
So now since each guy paid $9 instead of $10 leats multiply 9 by 3 (3 guys, each paid $9) and the answer is $27. the waiter pocketed $2...so lets add that to the $27 (27 + 2 = 29). So the total bill now is $29 instead of $30!!!!! what happened to that $1?!!!!!
