When he gets there the price has been reduced to £25. So as to keep things tidy he gives the three managers £1 each back and pockets the £2 left over.
The three managers have now laid out £9 each = £ 27 and the gofer has £2 making £29 altogether laid out.
What happened to the £1 from the original £30?
A conundrum for those who have not heard it.

The managers give £30 in total (£10 each)
The TV cost £25 (£8.33.3r each)
The Mangers received £3 back (£1 each)
The gofer kept £2 (£0.66.6r each)
So in actual fact the managers spent £9.33.3r each

There wasn't another £1 left over
The Gofer had £30 and paid £25 = £5 left over
He then gave the 3 managers £1 back so this gives £2 left over, which he then keeps

I answered this a while ago, about three guys renting a hotel room. Same principle, slightly different terms.
