And from 3000 MB,you don't even get 3GB of RAM memory,you get about 2,79 GB.

That is how memory is sold on the markets,they give round numbers of memory but if you convert to GB from MB you only get that amount.

Just divide 16*10^9 to 1024^3,you get 14,9. From those,there is internal memory and OS.

RAM works almost same as a laptop does, let's say you got a windows laptop with intel hd gpu and 3GB ram then you will also se RAM: 3GB (2.75GB availabe for use) that's because some of it goes to intel HD graphics, so it's something what android does i guess it takes some for it's gpu or something else.
