Each guys did pay $9. you gave 10 and got back 1, and
you do not think you paid 9?
the room is 25, plus the 2, then 27, each guy pays 9,
that's it. you can not say, 27+2, because 2 is part of
the 27 already.

take $2 FROM that pool (the $2 is part of the pool, so it is a negative
value, instead of the positive value added there), and only $25 left.
That is the hotel room price.
(The $30 value has nothing to do in this question)
Does anyone know the math the name of the math
puzzler that goes like this:
3 guys go to a hotel, the manager says the room is
$30. Each guy puts in $10 then go to sleep.
The next manager decides the room is really only
