Ignacio :
There are three people, and the original bill is $30,000, so each person pays $10,000. Later, the restaurant tells you that the actual bill was only $25,000, so they give you $5,000 back. You decide to give $2,000 to the waiter and split the remaining $3,000 between the three people, so each person gets $1,000 back. This means each person actually paid $9,000, so together you paid $27,000. Those $27,000 consist of the $25,000 restaurant bill plus the $2,000 tip for the waiter. The mistake is thinking you should add the $2,000 to the $27,000, because the $2,000 is already included in that $27,000. The remaining $3,000 was returned to you, so $27,000 + $3,000 = $30,000. Nothing is missing!
