9 X 3 = 27
plus the $2 the bellboy stole...
27 + 2 = 29
Where is the other dollar?
But it doesn't even make sense that way. When you calculate 9 X 3=27, that's already
including the $2...they were supposed to pay $25, but he kept $2, so it's $27...
plus the $3 that they already got back equals $30.
