Can you figure this out?

[quote=“Violator,post:23,topic:26497"”]

$30 - $2 to bellboy - $3 to customers = $25 room price

everything is accounted for

you DONT add in the $2 the bellboy kept… you subtract it to reach the $25 room price

Exactly. The way its worded, we are to assume the 3 dollars returned never existed. So when you add 2, you only get 29.

Keep everything in subtraction terms and its $30.
