3 Women goes to a resturant for food. At the end of the night the bill
comes to £30. Therefore each one pays £10 totalling £30

The waiter notice's that he's over charged and the bill should have been
£25. So with £5 extra, the waiter gives back EACH women £1 and keeps the remainding £2 as a tip.

So originally each women paid £10 but each was given £1 back, so they paid £9, the waiter keeps £2 as a tip.

£9 x 3 = £27 + £2 (tip) = £29...............wheres the £1 gone????
