You calculation includes the $2 the waiter took twice(the 72$ already includes that) instead of including the $3 returned. Each person paid 24$, which is in total 72$. that includes the $2 the waiter took. Then, they got $1 each back, ($3 in total), which means the total is still $75. So, 70$ for the food, plus $2 for the waiter, plus $3 back is 75$. The calculation at the bottom is wrong.

Cashier has returned $5. So, actual contribution of each friend was $75-$5= $70/3=$23.33. Waiter has returned $1 to each friend i.e.each friend spend $23.33+$1=$24.33. Waiter has kept $2 means he has not returned $2/3=$.66 to each friend. The sum of each friend + waiter is $25. Only your way of presentation is creating confusion. Dear Sandeep,

The actual payment done by everyone is not $24 - it is in fact $24.33. So, the arithmatic becomes $24.33 * 3 + $2 = $75. There was never a dollar lost, it is just shared by all 3 people equally logically - provided the waiter kept $2. It is rather a question that is confusing - not the answer :) They actually paid for $73 in total.
