Coconut Riddle

A man leaves from kerala with 3 sacks of 30 coconuts each
He comes across 30 tolls till he reached Bangalore.
He has to give 1 coconut for each sack containing coconuts as toll tax at every toll.
How much coconuts are left with him at Bangalore.
Clue :

The answer is not zero...
Only master brain works

 Answer
 
First he had 3 bags. So he has to give 3 to toll.
He took 3 from one particular bag and completed one sack.
Now he left with 2 sacks so he has to give 2 to toll. Other sack he opened and given 2 for 15 tolls. Now 1 bag 5 tolls. 1 each so 5 given out from 30.  So 25 remains
