You just paid me £40 to own an envelope that you already own £20 of anyway. I invested only £20, and I walk away with your buyout fee of £40.
The pleasure is all mine Jimbo. I like you more with every passing moment. Lets meet for drinks later.

the problem was written wrong intentionally to confuse you. ignore the computation in the problem and do your own.
25 bill
2 tip
= 27 or 9x3 (which they all pay)
3 in all their pocketsor do it like this
I'm £9 down +1 in pocket
T-Dawgs £9 down +1 in pocket
McLeods £9 down +1 in pocketwe all paid 27 total which is the bill and the tip

Jimbo, Don't worry about it. The liklihood of you being in a party of three, each of whome has a ten pound note, and eating a meal that cost exactly £25 is almost so remote it tickles impossibility in the ribs.
Furthermore if it did happen just tell them to keep the change and the fabric of the universe will remain intact, which is not too bad for a £5 tip.
