Is the problem really because of the fractions or is it because its worded incorrectly. Or just that you can look at it both ways?

I've never looked at it in terms of the fractions, but I guess that solves it too.
I always thought the real problem was the wording and math... as in 9*3-2=25 accounts for all the money no problem, but the question says 9*3+2=29, which uses numbers from the problem but not correctly.
