   $70/3friends= $23.3333 + $1each boy=24.3333x3boys=$72.9+$2Witer= $75
   
   After the $5 was returned the Bill was essentially $70.

   When the manager gave back the $5 it turned the bill from being $75 to being $70.  $70 divided by the 3 people who paid equals 23.33333 (etc.).  Each diner paid 23.33 (after rounding).  $23.33 times 3 equals $69.99, leaving 1 cent toward the food and the $2.00 that the waiter got.  $2.01 divided by 3 equals 67 cents (paid by each of the diners).  23.33 plus .67 comes to the $24 that each paid.
   
   (Now, I'm guessing I may learn that this was a trick question and all that figuring was for naught.....      )

   Any way you look at it, the waiter got stiffed on the tip.
   
   But yes, the key is realizing that the  total bill is $70 after the manager's discount-- but the waiter, because he didn't have a convenient way to divide the $5 refund by three people, only gave them $3 of the discount -- making their total bill $72. The restaurant got $70-- waiter got $2.
   I think.

   I knew there was a trick involved here (but I am secure enough to be make myself look like a fool in public)     
   
   
   (and yet the real question remains:  What's with the crappy tip on an $80 bill that got turned into a $75 bill?     )
