And the hotel has $25, the bell hop has $2, and each guest has $1 (x3) = $30 that they all started with.

Or, they collectively paid $25 (for the room) and $2 (for the tip) for a total of $27. $27/3 = $9.

The total of $29 is gotten from adding the tip twice and not factoring in the $5 change. Also, known as incorrectly adding everything together.
