It's self explanatory... Don't make it harder than it really is
You continue to miss the whole point of the problem, which when correctly stated, as opposed to the OP's butchering of it, asks why 9*3+2 = 30 doesn't work. You haven't answered that, and it appears you can't. Too bad.

Think of it as each man walking in with 10 one dollar bills, and there is no other money on premises. At the end, there is $25 in the register, $3 with the men, and $2 with the clerk. Total is $30.
The trick is in the "each paid $9" phrasing. They did, so $27 went in the till, and the clerk stole $2 of that. Again, it's the clerk's $2 plus $25 in the till and $3 with the men equals $30.
