Three guys want to buy a pizza, so they get $30 together. The delivery guy came and gave them their pizza. But, when he went back to his boss, he found out the pizza was only $25. So, he was sent to give them back $5. When he was almost there, he realized he never got a tip. So, he took $2 and gave them back the $3. So, each guy spent $9. 9+9+9= $27 27+2= $29 Where did the dollar go?

30 - (5-2) = 27, it cost them 27 dollars and they got three dollars back, end of story. The 27+2 should be 27+3, as they got three dollars back, and the pizza, after all is said and done, is $27. There's help on your math homework. |

ya, its just how you look at it 25 (pizza) + 3 ( money back) + 2 (tip) = 30 But, 27 ($ spent) + 2 (tip) = 29 |

Again, not really, $28 dollars spent + 2 dollars tip. 25+3=28, not 27. |

The three guys spend $30. The delivery guy finds out it's only $25 So... 30-25=$5 The delivery guy takes a $2 tip out of the $5. So... 5-2=$3 And the delivery guy gives them the change. See? No missing dollar. |

I'm with Tharry. Pizza was $25. They got $3 back. Delivery guy got $2 tip. 25+3+2=30, no missing dollar. |

The other way is that it costs $27 for the pizza and the $2 tip. It's just a different way of looking at it. |
