Yer but then each man has paid £9 overall 10-1=9. And 9x3=27. So that's where my problem lies

The pikey Bellboy has pocketed the rest of what they should have got back! He could have given them £1.66 each and kept a mere tuppenny for himself, but NOOOO! ;D

I can see that but if the men have £10 then get £1 back then they have spent £9 overall. SO the three men have spent £27 pounds (9x3). And then the pikey boy has the £2. DON'T GET IT!!

HA. When the total reaches £25 then that's 25 / 3 which = £8.33. They paid £10 each, so they're due £1.66 change each but the pikey steals the 66p off each of them to make £2 giving them a much easier £1 each back.
I still don't get it. It comes to £9 each. 9 x 3 = 27
27 + 2 = 29
Help me!!

The £9 x 3 question is a red herring. It's to do with BDMAS I think, but it's about a million years since I did any "proper" arithmetic!
