Default Re: Im missing $1 here help!

All right so we have 3x10=30$
Cost of wine: 25$, expected cost 30$
Money saved = 5$
Kep: 2$ to return 3$
25+2+3=30
He returns, gives every guy one back so they have payed 9$ each.
9x3+2 (money he saved) = 29.
Took me a while to figure out, results in white:
<font color="white"> You don't have to calculate 9x3=27;27+2=29 and wonder where the 1$ went. Instead you do 9x3=27;27-2$ the guy kept = 25 (what was payed for the bottle) </font>
