hmmmm jamison let me see if i can clear this one up: the ladies paid 27$. 2 of that 27 dollars went to the bell-boy, and 25 went to the hotel and the extra 3 went back to the ladies. so the hotel has 25$, the bell boy has 2$ and the ladies have 3$. neil confused it by saying that the ladies paid 27 (2 of which went the bell boy) and the bell boy got 2$, so you included the bellboy robbery twice.....ok i dont know if that makes sense to anybody at all...but it makes sense in my head...and its the right answer...soooo yea! have fun trying to figure out what i said, james sure had a hard time

The ladies did indeed pay 27 dollars. There's really no way to refute the statement that "They originally payed 30. They got back 3. Therefore they payed 27."

haha you didnt read my whole sentence. i said "neil confused it by saying that the ladies paid 27 (something went in parentheses) AND the bellboy got 2." but the ladies paid 27 which includes what the bellboy got.
