It didnt go anywhere. you are doing the math wrong. You minus the 2 dollars from the 27 to equal 25. You dont add it. Its in our minds to want to get back to 30 but thats where the problem is. The hotel owner keeps 25, the bellboy gets 2, and the men get 3 back. That adds up to 30.
this explains it best.......thank you, those two queens pubgay & post zero could learn a lesson here.
