it equals 30 dollars the receptionist figures out that its only 25 dollars so the bellhop goes to bring back there money but keeps 2 dollars so they each get 3 back..
meaning they each payed 9 dollars for the hotel
3x9=27 but the bellhop only took 2 dollars
wheres the other dollar

if it was 25 dollars it means 8.33 dollars per person not 8. The calculation is 9 x 3 = 27
27 -bellboy keeps 2 = 25 which was paid to the hotel.

3 x 9 = 27. 30 - 3 = 27. 30 - 5 +2 = 27.
What dollar were you talking about?

actualy they should only get a dollar back if there was 5 and the belhop took 2 that would leave 3 and that would be 1 each nice joke

You don't add the $2.00, you subtract it. The receptionist only has $25.00 not $30.00
