If three guys go to a hotel (no their not gay) and pay $30 dollars for all of them. The 3 guys go to their room. The clerk realizes he charged them $5 more than he should have. So he sends up a friend to give them the $5 back and he desides to steal 2 dollars, so each guy gets $1 back. That means each guy paid $9.00 to get it...9x3=27 $27+$2(that the guy stole) = $29.00 where is the extra dollar

The fact is that the room was $ 25 dollars + the 3 they get back + the 2 the clerk steals, make $ 30 dollars.

the room cost 25 dollars
which is why the clerk sent the "friend" up w/ the money
25+5=30
30-5=25+3+2=30

If the clerk steals two dollars, each guy gets three dollars back, not two dollars.
5-2=3
