They each order the same - a full english breakfast and a pot of coffee.
This comes to exactly £5.00 each, totalling £15.
At the end of the meal, they each throw in a £5 note and give it to the waitress. She takes the £15 to the till, where the manager informs the dozy mare that there is a special offer on today only - full english and a pot of coffee for £4.
The waitress puts the money into the cash drawer and takes out 5 pound coins. She walks back to the table and gives each of the 3 students a pound back. Being a thieving gypsy, she then pockets the remaining 2 pound coins.
To summarise - the students, having received a quid back each, have paid £4 each for their meals.
3 x £4 = £12
The tea leaf waitress pocketed £2
£12 + £2 = £14
Where has the other pound gone?

What you're trying to say is that the students paid £4 for their meals. Coming to £12 and as she put £2 in her pocket which makes just £14.
The 3 X £4 was how much they were charged. They each received £1 change making up the £15. The £2 was a surplus which the waitress pocketed.
