Isn't the problem in the equation? In that it should be: $9 x 3 = $27 + $3 = $30 because the customers are getting $3 back, not $2?
So, the break down is:
The customers pay $27
.........$25 goes to the owner
..........$2 goes to the employee
The customers have $3 left over from the money they got back |
The problem I think is in the wording of the riddle and how they phrase things to distort what the problem really is. This seems for the most part to be correct though.
