so now they've had a pound back they've each payed £9 an the waitress has had £2
3x£9= £27 + the £2 the waitress had that's £29 where's the other pound gone? |
It hasnt gone anywhere
£30 went into the till
She took 5 pound back for discount so now £25 in till
She kept*£2 and each man had £1 that equals £5 so add whats in till to the £5 between waitress and men equals £30 so i would say the £1 is not missing at all
