Where the 1 doller gone ?

[chinu]

Three friends went to the coffee house, after the food, the bill was 75 dollers.
.
.
Three of them gave 25+25+25 dollers to the server.
.
But..due to any festival, manager gaved the discount of 5 dollers, but server returned them 1+1+1 = 3 dollers to each of them, and kept 2 dollers with him.
.
.
Now according to account each of them gaved 24+24+24
As
24+24+24=72+ Server's 2 dollers =74
.
Where the 1 doller gone ?

What one dollar? They paid $72. $75 - $5 discount = $70. $70 + $2 tip = $72

This is more complicated than those Algebra problems.

The $2 the server kept is being counted twice. It's part of the $72 the guests ended up paying so doesn't need adding to the total.

That's right.

They should've paid $70 altogether, but they paid $72. The extra $2 is in the waiter's pocket.
