You're supposed to subract the $2 the bell boy has from 27 and get 25. Not add and get 29. See, the three men each have a dollar and the bell boy has $2 and that's 5$ plus the $25 the attendant still has is the full 30$. When they tell you that each man has apid 9$, it's true, 9x3 IS 27$ that they've given out. They gave $25 to the hotel lobbyist, and $2 to the bellman.

All you realy need to know is that in the end the Hotel clerk received $25, the Bell Boy $2, and the3 men $3. 25+2+3= $30, their original charge.
