Can you figure this out?

$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

right thats how i looked at it, i dont under stand what is so hard/confusing about it.

they paid $30, room was actually $25. bellboy gives $3 of the $5 back and keeps $2. 3+2 = 5; 25+5 = 30. they didnt pay $9 they paid 9.33 each
