THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.
Your not adding it up right, your trying to add $2 to the total paid.
What really happened is they ended up paying a TOTAL of $27
$25 for the room and $2 that the belboy kept (27=25+2)
(Once they recied the $3 refund, 30 is not the total and no longer has anything to do with the calculation)
Or look at it this way: $30 paid =$25 for the room with $5 overpaid (30=25+5)
Subtract $3 from each side of the = sign to cover the refund returned (27=25+2)
