Ordering Pizza

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.
